Long haul trucking should be illegal or effectively eliminated by a carbon tax. Use trains for long hauls.

He even said the problem with trains is last mile. Last mile short haul trucks can be and are electric.

It's weird he laid the groundwork for this argument, but he isn't making this argument.

Fix the infrastructure issues that make transferring from rail to truck difficult. Yes, that's challenging and expensive. Guess what else is? The status quo, and the effects of climate change.
