Most of that is because we truck everything and trains only get used for extreme bulk like coal
We can thank the US oil and auto industries (the same ones dictating these green energy tariffs to their political puppets), for that too.
The big pickup trucks and large SUVs dont help either.
Don't forget overloading them with hazardous materials, only to eventually inevitably crash and cause another social, economic, and climate disaster!
