- -> Anyone who drives a internal combustion powered vehicle contributes
- -> to the world emmisions. I am tired of all of this old car bashing as
-
- The largest single polluter in the world is the US Air Force.
- Collectively, various manufacturing plants and power generation make the
- USAF look like small potatoes. Automobiles are actually rather far down
- on the list. The "zero emission auto" furor is mainly political.
- Practically everyone is dependent on cars, so it brings the issues home
- to the electorate, which usually gets screwed anyway.
-
- There's also the raw fact that the majority of the world doesn't give a
- rat's ass about pollution, and if the US miraculously stopped putting
- out even a gram of pollution, it wouldn't make that much difference to
- the world at large.
