the problem is that you will not like my answer. you show up in every thread like this and belittle people that don't share your opinion. I for example believe that outlawing poisenous chemicals like the old coolant liquids and replacing them with more environmental friendly alternatives is a good thing. and you will now tell me that i am stupid for believing that the old ones did any harm. thats why a discussion is fruitless

spot on. the thing is that the US is by now about 20 years behind a country like Germany in these things. All these discussions i remember from my childhood, just that here something was done. Gas is much more expensive, energy too. Emission laws are WAY more strict. And what happened? Air got better, rivers are much cleaner, less forrests are dying. And Germany is one of the leading countries in exporting "green" technologies and many jobs have been created that way.
you people keep telling that things will not work that have been proven to work since decades, you're just to arrogant to accept that someone is doing it better.
ah, and before i forget: your biggest problem BY FAR are the armies of lobbyists that are paid to keep things in the shitter where they are
