12. You can't put "Saving the Planet" on the backs of the working poor
You are right that in the long run changing our way of life away from using internal combustion engines for transportation is "good for the planet". But for the working poor who have to drive to work every day to make 6 or 7 bucks an hour to feed their families, saving the planet is of little consolation when the rent is due.
