I assume the 7 billion tons is just looking at the direct emissions from automobiles. The thing is that most of the electricity generation in the US comes from burning natural gas or coal. Once you burn these things to make electricity, transmit it to homes or charging stations and eventually run the cars, have you saved any CO2 emissions? I doubt it.
The obvious low-hanging fruit is power generation. If climate alarmists were serious, they'd be proposing a crash program of nuclearizing our electricity production. Once that's done, cheap electricity will induce people to move to electric heat and more electric appliances, it also will create demand for electric cars, mostly for commuting, since they can be charged at home almost for free.
The alarmists are of course not serious, or maybe they really are serious but really stupid. Whichever it is, we shouldn't let unserious or stupid people make laws.
