Also, You Still Can't Recharge A Car In 5 Minutes
-
This article is about how, despite all the global warming stories, Americans, taking advantage of low gas prices, are buying gas guzzlers like SUVs and large luxury cars instead of Priuses and Teslas. But here's the thing: Electric cars and hybrids are way too expensive for what they are, which are... cars. We want good, reliable, affordable cars, and internal combustion engines are all of that while the more "green" cars are not yet there. Also, the article says that giving up gas-powered cars is the biggest thing we can do to combat global warming, yet we've also been told that nothing we can do as individuals really makes a difference since the largest threat to the planet is pollution from China, India, and other countries where emission controls are lax or nonexistent. So, do you feel guilty about driving a gas-powered car? Because, apparently, you're supposed to. (New York Times)
