It's one of those Marmite moments.... you love it or hate it.
I downloaded the episode, and watched the final few minutes about the AMV12 again, and i absolutely loved it.
JC's afraid that driving that car is "an ending". One thing is for sure... modern day western economy and political misuse of the environment discussion, puts most car makers into a new commercial strategy... BMW getting out of F1, the ridiculous hybrid disease, etc.
One day, fast computers that consume too much power will be hugely taxed too.
One day, all the old and rotting hugely environmentally damaging batteries of those hybrid vehicles must be recycled.
One day, flying will be ended, as it is is far too damaging... environmentally speaking.
One day, the biggest user of fossil fuels, i.e. trains, must be destroyed.
One day, the biggest creator of greenhouse gasses must be removed.... Oh, that's nature itself.
One day, me might find out that the earth's mini ice-age is disappearing.
EDIT: Don't get me wrong. People should ALWAYS try to minimize the use of any form of energy!!
Just try to use common sense about it instead of having Hollywood cr@p like "The Day After Tomorrow" scare the hell out of you.
