Hey Jonwa. I love battery electric vehicles, too, but I like Richard's suggestion to look into carbon scrubbing. I bet there are big machines we can build to remove carbon from the atmosphere, but are any of them going to be a net-negative, and how many of them would need to be from wind power first? The U.S. could power herself with wind turbines on 3% of her farmland. There would have to be a lot of storage, and we might need to double grid capacity.

If the lumber shortage has been addressed by sustainable forestry, then I'm sure we can solve this very similar problem, as long as you smart people keep thinking about it.
