[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Huge SUVs like the Chevy Suburban. Even if you have a bunch of kids, the size of this SUV is excessive and the gas mileage is horrible --15 mpg!!

I don't understand how so many educated people in this area can make the decision to buy these gas-guzzling vehicles. It isn't ignorance of the facts. These drivers (1) know that climate change is real; (2) know that SUVs are a non-trivial component of CO2 emissions; and (3) know that fossil fuels are a finite resource that could eventually be exhausted. Armed with this knowledge, I don't understand how educated people can purchase a big SUV.

Soon all these large SUV's and full size trucks will be electric. What will you have to complain about then?[/quote]

You know electrics still require energy to charge right? And unless you have a crap ton of solar panels you are charging your car with electricity produced from non renewable sources. And bigger cars still need more energy, electric or not. [/quote]

PP here. Yes, I understand. See my response from earlier in which I indicate that we need a significant change of lifestyle in order to bring our aggregate energy consumption in-line with long-run energy production from renewable sources. David MacKay -- a British physicist -- has an excellent book on this topic:
