Wow what a thread some serious stuff and very elequontly put . I started to get a guilt complex over my carbon footprint so I bought an EV (Mustang Mach is E) a friend said if everyone had EV's there would be no electricity left for normal use, so the guilt complex returned and I eased my guilt by installing a solar system that will generate (so they say) the equivalent power in a year that I would use with the EV. It has been installed for 2 weeks and not unexpectedly has only produced enough power for me to do 7 miles ! Incidentally I love the car, the only frustration is the "app" even though I have been driving for 50 years perfectly well without an "App" now I have an" app" that turns on the heating, remote starts, tells me when to stop for a cup of coffee, I consider it essential. Once we have something that was not essential in our lives before but seemingly makes our lives better it becomes essential ........ Is that the problem of progress ?
