> there is no "zero carbon diesel".

There is, it’s called biodiesel. It’s certainly possible to be net zero carbon with synthetic fuels.




And it's insanely expensive and thus not ever going to be remotely economically feasible. The only reason it might falsely appear to be so now is because it is heavily subsidized (way more heavily subsidized than EVs are).


Economic feasibility is a different question, but we can say the same thing about EVs in Norway - they're not currently economically feasible there without significant incentives. That doesn't mean technology can't catch up.
