The truly horrifying part about all of this is that the large corporations who are mostly responsible for greenhouse gas emissions are continuing to conduct business as usual. I’m doubtful anyone has the (political) will or ability to force them to stop…
I drive a semi truck for a living. I can imagine slightly more inconvenient alternatives to driving trucks everywhere, but trucking companies and their customers can not.
It’s a political problem, as it should be, but the candidates that they’ve chosen to represent us aren’t the ones we need, they’re the ones that the “other side” really doesn’t want. It used to be a game, but now with the internet/TV, it’s divided into a political tribalism and has become nothing but metagaming.
It’s called trains and barges. Long haul trucking shouldn’t exist, because everything long haul trucking does is done infinitely better by trains and barges.
Trucks have their purpose as the last mile delivery vehicle, but they should never be shipping anything between cities.
