Or "yeah but we're burning fuel to make energy" without understanding that a large powerplant burning fuel at 60% efficiency (or whatever percent) is better than 1000 small ones (cars) at the same efficiency
Internal combustion cars are about half as efficient as big fossil fuel powerplants. The big ones waste a third of the energy as low grade heat; cars waste two thirds of the energy as low grade heat
