Yeah that fair too. In that case I would point to other benefits like being able to run the vehicle indoors without carbon monoxide emissions, or how much quieter electric vehicles are. But I’m not opposed to modding existing vehicles to run on biodiesel
This was actually my favourite approach to reducing emissions back in the early 2000s. Biodiesel in either gas-efficient vehicles, or hybrids. When I heard about algae oil refining I was even more on board. It doesn’t help much with emissions though. https://www.treehugger.com/making-biodiesel-from-algae-85138
If sovereignty involves reducing dependency on supply chain, anything with microprocessors won’t be ideal. Imho electrification is actually more of a collective coordinated action and harder to justify in isolation. Actual sovereignty is unattainable in this connected and super populated world anyway.
