Because supply chain externalities are fair game when evaluating electric cars but somehow diesel cars are magically grown in forests without factories building them and diesel itself is fairy power source that flows from magic fountains?

It's amazing how many of these articles talk about the "dirty factories" or "dirty electricity" of electric vehicles, but just happen ignore that diesel and gas cars come from the same factories, and just happen to stop follow supply chains at gas pump, as if the complex, carbon-heavy supply chains for extraction, refining, and shipping oil/gas/diesel to gas pumps don't make even the most noxious, mountain destroying, coal-powered electricity look like a wonder of efficiency and green energy.
