"...Where is the outrage over people mowing their laws? Eco-freaks rarely think through their positions...they could do a lot of good if they did."

When idiots drive their lawnmowers to work every day, that will piss me off bigtime.

it's not just the emissions. It's the waste of an excess 3,000 lbs. of steel, plastic, rubber, etc. that takes an enormous amount of energy to produce, adds wear to roads, costs extra energy to drive and takes up an additional (your figure here) square feet of space in parking lots, streets, etc.

If everyone driving a 6,000 lb. SUV or truck without a payload switched to a 3,500 lb car, we probably could get by without Saudi oil.
