How could you possibly know that??? Private sector usually does it way better than Uncle Sam. You do realize 70-80% of electricity comes from fossil fuels in this nation, correct?
The days of cars spewing disgusting exhaust are lonnnnnng over and have been for decades.
My 20 year old LS is a SULEV. Cars are cleaner than ever.

That's not fog in the skyline. This was actually a pretty clear day. I couldn't go out without a mask, and when I got back to the states I had severe asthma that took 3 or 4 months to clear up and was on high doses of Prednisone. There's your ZERO government regulations at work

Well, you and I live in a different world. I've travelled to countries without regulations, and the air and water is toxic. I would rather live in a country with regulations than without. Doesn't mean everything the government does is good, but it also doesn't mean everything they do is bad
You CAN control it. Don’t even let it in your head that they have that much pull on you.

And Mercedes cheated on diesel emissions. Recently Toyota was caught cheating data for decades you don't cheat if the engine is clean.
Smartphone was at 7% once upon a time.

My point was my 20 year old car was a SULEV wayyyyyyyyyyy before anyone was asking/requiring it to be. We don’t need the government for everything.

I simply don’t care. There will be plenty of great and environmentally responsible and sustainable cars. I also would like my kids to live in a clean world…

And SW, I’m not angry! Lol.
It’s like in the movie Contagion, the private virologist (Elliot Gould) solves it. Then he gives it to the CDC.

It should be possible to make a close loop transportation system, the only input is losses incurred by recycling which is never 100% efficient. I think long term we can get to 90% less pollution. The tricky part is recycling plastics it is very difficult or impossible need to figure out a sustainable plastic like material. Battery materials that's already being done and aluminum is the most recyclable substance there is.

Never better, just hanging with my dogs.
I don’t call people things, like delusional, who think we’re all in for BEVs, but it’s okay I guess. There’s a gigantic country between the tony coasts that many seem to forget.
7% will hover near 10, maybe 15% and then plateau after that. That’s my semi-long term outlook.

Do you think it's that simple? Every drug or medical device that is invented has to go through a process where they prove to the FDA that's is safe and won't kill or cripple you. I wouldn't take any drug unless I knew it was safe, and I'm not taking the word of a Billion dollar company that it is. It's called regulations, and any product that has the potential to cause harm is regulated to make sure it doesn't. Doesn't always work, but most of the time it does
