I think the problem is Trucks are a visible lifestyle preferences that does not align with yours.

You can have all the weird lifestyle preferences you want that don't involve conspicuous waste of natural resources and accelerating anthropogenic climate change.

Are we not talking about electric vehicles here?

you’re right.

but I’m still not changing my habits. fuck the environment

I find most people with critical looks at trucks have not looked at their own habits the most. Some have but I bet there are a lot of meat eaters here talking about how wasteful trucks are.

It’s very hard to not see how any resource using activity falls in that bucket including: boating, shopping, having kids, going on vacation, having a home, ordering exotic things, eating at restaurants, using AI, etc.

The primary limiter is on how many resources we give people.

Tax carbon and we can ration it out using market prices. But yes, many of those things are also carbon-intensive lifestyle choices, but some are more valuable than others.
