There’s easier, more effective battles to fight. People aren’t giving up their SUV’s, and they are a symptom of a bigger problem anyway.
Good public transportation could eliminate millions of cars, roads, and road maintenance.
A few other ideas:
Coal power is disgusting and doesn’t even make sense economically anymore.
Cruise ships and mega yachts should flat out be banned. They use a ton of energy and dump sewage right into the ocean
Heavily tax gas powered lawnmowers. They have a surprisingly large environmental impact because they have no pollution controls and often burn a mixture of oil and gas.
The increase in SUVs isn’t driven by people’s natural preferences; it’s driven by automakers being incentivized by stupid CAFE standards to push SUVs on them. Those bad regulations are what we need to fix.
