This is the result of 30 years of enviro-wacko policies pushed by various administrations. The enviro-wackos would have us all resort to horses and buggies as our primary means of transportation - then they'd complain about stepping in horsesh%t!!
The rest of us could care less about the enviro-wackos and their backward policies. After several million years, earth has proven to be more resilient than it is credited with.
