I know you probably meant this as a way of slamming hypocrisy esp in the US. But then again in the US, depending on where you live, you absolutely have to have a car. I do not know about Vegas, but a city that large should have a fairly decent public transportation system in place. My sister lives in Boston and does not own a car because she lives in the city and does not need one.
I live in what could be commonly referred to as 'the sticks' with a population under 2500 (2345 at the last census). There is zero public transportation here you cannot even get a taxi and with much of the population in rural areas having a car is essential.
I would love to give up my vehicle but I need it... so rather than give up the car I wish more people were clamoring for the development of alternative energy sources....even that would not kill the need for oil, we use it in so many products it looks like we will need it for generations
