Saying it was created for man to use is all very well, but how we use it has to be dictated by our understanding of it. If you know your use of it is damaging and will impact your children in the future from being able to use it, is that okay? I know we have to hope for Moshiach, but we still need to do tachlis and plan for the future. Do you not have life insurance or any retirement accounts? Why is the environment less worthy of future consideration than your bank account? Scientists who specialize in this field seem to pretty much uniformly agree that climate change is a major issue we need to deal with, so why not make the effort? Yeah, it might mean some sacrifices, but out standard of living in America is very high and it might not be so bad. Further, green initiatives, like EV’s, will make cities quieter and less polluted, which would be good for both mental and physical health, so there is a lot to benefit from it.

TLDR – invest in Tesla. Make money and improve the environment!
