The way some people fantasize about solving our large scale systemic transport CO2 emissions problems (like drawing fantasy train maps of Europe or drooling about some AI-car future) reminds me of a scene in Breaking Bad.
They're cooking meth in an RV in the desert and their generator's fuel ran out. Then they realise that their RV's starter battery ran out, too. So the pump petrol from the tank into the generator, inevitably spilling some. When they start the generator, it catches fire due to the spilled fuel.

Walter (asshole but boring and planning things) reaches for the CO2 fire extinguisher, which takes a moment but will extinguish the fire leaving the generator intact.

Jesse however (impulse driven and what reminds me of the fantasy people), reaches for their water supply (that they need to stay hydrated in the desert) and splashes it over the generator (rendering its electrics useless).

Both propose a solution to an urgent problem. One is clearly getting them in a lot of trouble however.
