As long as emissions are the major driving force
(Carbon dioxide is now classified as a pollutant. What are all
the tress going to do for food?) the car industry as a whole is in a
world of hurt. People in general are easily manipulated if you
appeal to their emotions. Making unsubstantiated claims that
the world is heating  up due to so-called green house gases
is a prime example. It has heated up and cooled off before...
long before the internal combustion engine. Global warming
is an environmental demagogue's dream come true. Scare the
hell out of people and nobody can prove them wrong.

I couldn't agree with you more on this one, Paul. How can CO2 be harmful? It is
part of the life cycle. (Isn't it close to or heavier than air?)
The oil has been generated eons ago for us to use until we find harmless nuclear
energy. Which will probably come in a century or two. Until then, its fossil
fuels and organic fuels (ethanol the most promising) that we are to use.

The scare likely will turn out to be the same hoax as the oil crisis in the mid
70's that was artificially created. Rolf

I remember the wackos saying back then we would be out of oil by 1985 :-)
