But some environmentalists are dreading the prospect of hundreds of thousands of low-cost cars hitting polluted and overcrowded roads around the world

And naturally, all of the "some" environmentalist ride donkeys or the wind to work, right?

Environmentalism, as a movement, has been hijacked by the anti-capitalist crowd. They don't like freedom and they HATE machines---unless the machines belong to them.

As I recall, my father was fairly big in our home state’s environmental movement at one time. This was decades ago when the goal was conservation. Wise use and maintenance of natural resources? Yes! Anti-industry, anti-hunting, anti-fishing, anti-technology? No.

Today’s common “environmentalist” wants everybody to live like the Flintstones while they live like the Jetsons.

You ever wonder where the communist crowd went to when the old Soviet Union collapsed and their proletarian paradise was discredited as a philosophy?. It took a while but the environmental movement is now securely infiltrated.
