As far as the H2, there should be laws requiring retribution. Woman goes inside to steal a drink; crush her H2 with an Abrams M1A1. Leave one of the plastic tow hooks as a reminder of her stupidity and give her a seatless crappy bike to pedal home.

Uh - No - I don't think diesels are cleaner than a gas auto - diesels aren't required to meet emissions requirements. they do get better mileage but I'm not sure that it's true they are cleaner. Possibly the newest ones are cleanish but still...not cleaner than gas. I think that their NOX is higher than that of comparable gas engines.
Gonna have to go do some reading on that one...
