You know car emissions are like 15% total greenhouse gas emissions in the US right? And half that worldwide.

This is just the most visible source for a bunch of people who have made their conclusion unencumbered by the data.

The emissions from powering and heating your house are several times what your car emissions are.

So go solve that one and leave my Corolla alone.

That is some whataboutism.

You do realize that net zero homes are buildable? Even in surprisingly challenging climates.

There are so many ways to make better use of the energy we have available than to waste a bunch of it to pollute the air.
