You are concerned about destroying the economy in order to save the planet. To me, that sounds like a good trade. Is there ANYTHING more important to you than the economy? You talk about freedom, but all your concerned about is your freedom to screw up other peoples lives.

In my experience a bad economy leads to an even worse environment!
Black market and underground manufacture tends to have very little regard for noxious byproducts as legit companies must.
Compare Bayer's residue to you local meth lab!
Look at the "Third World" (Or China!) and their utter lack of concern for "Preserving nature".
The worse OUR economy gets the less "Preservation" there will be.
Rich countries "Save the planet"
, poor ones just trash it every day in order to survive.

The PC "Solar" and "Wind" schemes are already collapsing, new generation nuclear is still being blocked.
No nuclear means no significant "hydrogen economy".
So "Fossil fuel" is going to remain the primary mobile energy source far into the future.
The only real way to force us to cease using IC engines is to FORCE us to give up driving.
The self-driving cars are a start on that prohibition as Gov. Org. will then be able to disable your driving for any or no reason at all.
