For that to happen, he'd have to:1.) think strategically.2.) be willing to lose at anything ever.3.) believe that it's possible for him to lose.4.) care about something other than himself.
Looks like we can go with carbon neutral fuel instead, and maybe very soon.
One company I saw yesterday in Discover Magazine has successfully pulled CO2 from the air using solar power, and broke it down to CO and H2. Current costs about $9 per gallon of liquid fuel, specifically kerosene. Scaling up and improved tech should drive that cost down a good 50%, about the same as current fossil kerosene. But with no net increase in atmospheric carbon.
New rail tech is of course much better than old rail tech, but the US has a lot of targets spread out all over - more so than Europe. While we can do much with rail, it's not going to deliver goods to my house. They could deliver to a central location in town, like Sears in 1890, but then I'd have to drive there to pick it up - along with all the other customers. Or, I could drive around town to see who has what I need, if anybody.
More rail is fine, but we need clean tech for private cars of communal cars or drones.
This is an issue for which there is no EASY ANSWER. If everything has to be electric, then our electric grid needs SERIOUS upgrading, which will cost a BLOODY FORTUNE, not to mention that the only practical answer we have to PROVIDING that much electricity is nuclear power, and the U.S. ALREADY struggles to contain/dispose of the waste product involved from the EXTREMELY LIMITED nuclear power production we DO have.
We quit doing emissions testing the beginning of 2020. Not sure why.
I have a cute Catalina she is pink and has a basket in the back. I have to take her to the local bike shop to get her refreshed.
Homeschooled much?
As far as moving a lot of freight without so much pollution, there's always trains.
Or there would be, if the US still had a rail system worth talking about.
[Narrator's narrator: It was not shocking.]
Why not covert to biodiesel? Then you can empty the fryer into the fuel tank.
After filtering it, of course. And possibly removing the glycerine depending on the conversion.
That'd make a good ad.

In case there's any doubt, freeways are the environmental justice issue of Southern California:

(Psst! Minutes. 60 minutes per hour; 1200 trucks per hour, divide 1200 by 60.)
20 trucks per minute. Not hard to believe, on one road with a lot of traffic and enough lanes to handle it.
One word: repugs.
If we lived some place with decent solar input.... but alas, we don't.

what if, by 2050, all fossil-derived jet fuel could be replaced by a carbon-neutral one made from sunlight and air?
