Battery powered vehicles have their niche - think golf carts and utility vehicles that go to a job and sit for a while (like post office vans for walking routes, and gardeners and such (seen at UW in Seattle).
Solar power and wind generation have their niche, used decades ago for mountaintop radio repeaters and people on farms who could afford them. Windmill well pumps were common in eastern IA long ago, you can see remains of some (today pumps are on the big electrical grid).
Plants like CO2 so much that some greenhouses enrich the atmosphere inside, they have to be careful working because they enrich far far beyond what is in the atmosphere.
Obscure factoid: our bodies need a small amount of CO2 to function.
