I love this counter-intuitive thinking.

A while ago at dinner a friend said she was trying to do the right thing environmentally, but it was just too complex. (The case in point was her wanting an EV but hearing that while the car would be clean, there would still be emissions back at the power plant producing the electricity - true in many places but not in my country which has around 78% renewable grid energy).

Your comment clarifies just how very complex it is understanding the overall impact on the environment of our actions.

(No comment on whether a wall would actually prevent 1M illegal migrants a year).
