The author makes some valid points but I would like to live in a world where we can all get what we want without imposing our choices on others. With synthetic fuels and efficient combustion engines on the horizons, I applaud and am excited about the choices we will have and I am happy to do my part to counter the negatives (by using mass transit when I can, using electric cars for commutes and school runs, planting trees). In return, I would like to own and use my exciting ICE cars on race tracks, for fun trips and even grocery runs occasionally. Let's find the balance, without imposing our ideas on everyone.
