This point is worth highlighting. Again, this seems like one of those issues that certain idiots would like to highlight as an either/or, black and white issue. Either humans live in trees and eat grass or we let industry pour arsenic down our throats and wander through the forests with flamethrowers or some shit.
As in all things - balance. Personally, I'm waiting for those hybrid/hydrogen humvees that nobody seems interested in building. I'm waiting for Gas Guzzler Joe to challenge me to a drag race - his internal combustion engine against my green technology supercharger. Americans like power - let's give it to them in a shade of green with some subwoofers thrown in to simulate the distinctive old timey petrol engine sound.
