The unfortunate truth is, everyone wants to save the world, as long as someone else pays for it.
Sadly, this is a very true statement...

How come we can't buy Hummers that get 35 MPG?
Also, it's the auto makers, by and large, who lobby fuel consumption standards. There may be some oil companies, but I doubt they're in the majority.
If a Hummer became something other than what it is, I doubt they would sell as many and the masses would move on to another product that made the statement they want their life to reflect.
I'm not "fighting" for a political victory. The tone of this thread has changed and, with respect to our mods and the rest of the forum community, I'm done here. I really enjoy discussing these types of issues and will continue discussion via PM with anyone if they wish.It is unfortunate that we are so busy fighting over political victories that we loose sight on what we are fighting for.

We should all be encouraged to discuss relevant topics like this one as responsible reefers. It's the job of the board's mods to curb inappropriate or offensive discussion. That said, the thread was started by the board's administrator (love ya, RL) and I'm sure it was meant to inform us of a real and important issue and start an open discussion on the topic.
