Nobody said it was. However the hydrocarbon industry is certainly not carbon neutral in any format. So even if you only move the factories to a carbon neutral state, it's still a significant improvement. Isn't that what his is about? Improving our world. Improving living conditions. Improving vehicles. Improving the chance of having a sustainable energy source. I don't think any technology in any industry claims to be absolutely perfect but that doesn't mean the advantages don't exist.
This comes up a lot when discussing electric cars. This stance that if they are not the answer to absolutely everything single problem, and not gods gift to clean energy, the motoring world, and starving children in Africa, then it isn't worth doing. Yet they are a significant improvement in pretty much every area and are progressing at a rate that the car industry has never seem in its entire history, and people still argue against them.
Notice how we've moved to discussing climate, despite the Pro electric car posters not even bringing it up.
