    It will never be eco-friendly to drive 6000lbs of steel down a road to move one person and we should stop supporting the idea that it is possible because it is delaying the real impactful changes we could make

      I’m not saying it’s eco-friendly. I’m saying it’s far less damaging to the environment to drive an electric truck than it is to drive one that runs on gasoline or diesel.

      We can continue to address it culturally while they transition to less harmful vehicles. We’re not changing the behavior of an entire nation fast enough for that to be our only action.
