Hear Here!
Well said. And those of us that have conserved and recycled for years,
not because it was trendy, but because it is the right thing to do, get
no credit from the greenie weenies because they have blinders on.

I hear you but the whole issue of being "green" requires more than
just trying to wean us off of fossil fuels. Things like vehicles
either need to be viable long term or very recycle-able or we won't
have gained much. I am not a true believer in the global warming or
climate change argument but I do think we need to be less wasteful in
many ways. Throw away cars are a problem. I don't go to the junk yards
often but when I do, I am amazed at the number of late model cars
sitting there wasting away. I remember a time when there were lots of
old cars on the roads. That may, in many cases, not have been a good
thing either but it did have its virtues. Cars were maintained to a
considerable extent and were used up over time. Now, folks would
rather sign up for another monthly payment on a new piece of junk than
pay the cost of new brakes all way around. Drive trains do not wear
like they used to and bodies don't rust like they did so why are we
throwing away perfectly good transportation because some electrical
doo-dad has given up and the part is either stupidly expensive or
unavailable? It should not be permitted. These little bits should be
common and available everywhere.
