Climate change might be real but man made not. This what it is about.
Assuming mankind is able to affect climate change in any way, will reinventing the wheel, building new battery cars for everybody, global new electrical power grids and charging stations, new nuclear plants to generate all the electricity needed and lithium mines everywhere, spoiling desperately needed drinking water in the process, change things for the better or be "green" in any way? Burning oil like there is no tomorrow is not right. Doing the same in a less efficient way with battery power now is no improvement. Just some bad interim technology.

It would make the world greener to better insulate houses and not waste electrical power for air condition and heating to start with. Or to harvest natural energy like thermal plants or tides. Still some way to go it seems.
