i don't deny that point in the least
what i deny is this "well it's better, but it's not perfect, so let's just sit around and whine about being perfect, and thereby only help the status quo of terrible"
@benroyce I don't know about you, but to me, this was new information. If that 2,200g CO2e/kWh is correct – which I don't know yet – and my math checks out, then a BEV powered by hydroelectric energy really isn't better than a smaller ICE car at all.

But it doesn't change the overall need to get off fossil fuels
Nevermind you can work to reduce the methane production from hydroelectric
So this issue you note is absolutely true, but it doesnt change the overall equation
In the end it only becomes a piece of whataboutism in defense of fossil fuels
Which I am not accusing you of. I'm just asking you to look at the big picture
