There's some truth to this, but it's hard to argue electric cars aren't a marginal improvement (especially as "green" energy becomes more prevalent). The key is also using this time to improve public transportation, and making adjustments that eliminate unnecessary travel (e.g. work from home). If nothing else it's a step in the right direction considering the massive cultural shift that's already underway.
I wrote a little bit about something else.
The law of conservation of energy always applies. If the wind rotates the windmill, then the energy of the wind force is converted into the energy of rotation of the windmill, and the wind energy reserve decreases.
I have not found a single study on the impact of the global installation of wind turbines on wind roses around the world. Accordingly, I just can't understand why this energy is considered "green". Then the gasoline generator is quite environmentally friendly until the number of generators reaches a critical level.
Moreover, the consequences of even a slight change in the wind rose are much more catastrophic than the pollution of the planet with carbon dioxide. For example, such as you see in the picture in the post.
