This author built a strawman so big that burning it could power a small town. Gist is "What would happen if we stopped eating meat right now?"
If "we" had meat as a major part of our diet we'd eventually die from starvation. Conclusion: Eat meat or die.

The attempt to sell the ICE car as "efficient" rankled most.
Driving in an ICE car is monstrously inefficient use of primary energy (though purely seen as a piece of engineering engine has greatly improved over time).

Author also wanted to ICE the thermal power plant, and sure, a CHP plant is reasonably energy-efficient. Which is why an EV performs better than equivalent ICE car, even if the electricity comes from a coal-fired plant.
