Isn't transportation the number 1 cause of CO2 emissions? How does forcing his employees to transmute to and from work help that goal?

I suspect the theme is "but electric cars"

And those only pay out if you don't consider the mining costs to make the batteries. If you do, they're significantly worse

We should be sticking to combustion cars, atmosphere sourcing the gasoline (we said "it's too expensive" back when gas was $0.79 a gallon; things have changed) and mandating 10% inefficiency into something chemically stable, so that road trip driving becomes part of the solution
