The point is we need alternatives that are an improvement over the status quo, not making the current options worse. In some cases it might mean making things cheaper (EVs), in other cases it might be improving the service even if the cost goes up a little (public transit). In any case no one’s going to switch to a much worse or more expensive product or service for environmental reasons, it needs to be better on its own merits.
