These dumb fucks have no idea what it takes to move shit around the country. "Green" trucks aren't happening any time soon. Green trains definitely aren't happening. Planes and ships either. And I damn sure am not buying an EV or anything similar for escorting oversize loads. The only thing that's going to happen is prices in everything are going up.
It's beyond their ability to conceive that petroleum affects the price of everything. These same people will complain that the avocado manufacturers, the toast farmers, and the soy cow growers are conspiring to increase the price of their avocado toast and soy milk, without one thought that all these products had to arrive at their local bodega by truck.

LMAO perfect
"Green Trucks" which use fossil fuel to generate electricity, to fill his battery? btw. this mean loss of energy. Not to mention that "green energy" are all but not green. Ah, one more thing, "green trucks" carry too much weight in battery which decrease his efficiency drastically, even Tesla abandon his trucks... until someone make more usable batteries for heavy load vehicles. Finally, not only transport will be affected. Industry in global need energy, loot of energy. Agriculture too, food processing...... So soy latte in Starbucks will cost more.. because dirty capitalists want to make extra profit, right?
They're more interested in hyping alt fuels that do not work. Yet no one is interested in talking about hybrid trucks like diesel electric the same tech that's in trains.
Companies that bought heavy into LNG trucks are switching back to diesel. Maintenance costs more, and they don't have the range that diesel does. In the Midwest it's not uncommon for a wrecker to get called to pull one of those trucks to a fueling station.
