That's not really worthy of an article, that's common sense. Everyone knows that there are a hundred different ways to fix climate change, but none of them are feasible or cost effective. A few advocates love for nature doesn't make the business decisions, the love for money by the CEOs of company's behind the biggest sources of pollution do.

That's like saying "properly use indexes in SQL databases to fix performance problems" shouldn't be an article because it's obvious.
The devil (or god depending on who you ask) is in the details. We don't get into the details without a lot of discussion.
Your views on electification feasibility sound archaic and uselessly pessimistic. Try out an EV today. They accelerate & decelerate faster, usually handle better and are lower maintenance and charge/fuel cost. Today is the swan song of ICE cars.

I think its important to remember that what people with a science or technical background consider common sense, others consider domain knowledge they either don't have or might not be able to comprehend.
You have to consider your audience, and assume you need to build context from the foundation up.
