And need big asphalt roads that retain heat and make the surrounding area significantly warmer compared to either light rail, smaller roads needed for bikes and even regular train tracks

    To be fair they don't necessarily need asphalt roads. That's just what used to be the most convenient and relatively cheaper kind of road. There are other options these days that are better both for the vehicles and for the environment - but even if those better options were used, your point still stands in general.
