In economic terms, the biggest impact from air pollution is particulate matter in densely populated areas, not CO2. Burning dinosaurs four miles away (more accurately, 40+) has a huge positive impact, because the worst of the particulate matter falls to the ground by then.

As someone who works in filtration - one of the primary ways to reduce pollution - stationary sources are easier to filter.

Vehicles have limited under the hood space and are distributed.

Yeah you can use electrostatic scrubbers and wet scrubbers on stationary plants. Can't do that with a car.
