I think it's more than these leftoids are so convinced that the sky is falling that ALL carbon dioxide has to be eliminated IMMEDIATELY.

Like they actually think we're all going to die because of a few yokels rolling coal, so naturally a most cost-effective hybrid that only cuts out 50% of emissions with no downsides is killing the planet. And a next most cost-effective plug-in hybrid that cuts out 90% of emissions is just not good enough -- that 10% is a deadly poison!!1

The elites that convinced them the sky is falling, they may want to make cars unaffordable but the regular people pushing EVs are just scared out of their gourd.
