Having electric vehicles moves power production and emissions as a result elsewhere. That said it decreases the amount of emissions elsewhere since it uses cleaner energy. You still keep creating more parks and building forests/sustaining them. This is all part of a multi-pronged assault on climate change. You are creating a false option - such that it is only this or that.

Exactly what I wonder, the pollution problem should not be turned into an electric car sales booster, it is a wider problem that needs to be tackled from different directions and I don't hear anybody making a wider analysis or plan.

Go to CARB and CEC they have the roadmaps for CA.
