Do any of you know how hard it is not to be an environmental hypocrite ?
Go ahead, gas up your cars, turn your air conditioners on, dutifully put your trash out everyday for pickup, add more electrical outlets in your old home because of course you need them all.
Meanwhile make sure the other guy does what you can't do personally.
This is basically an unfair argument to you all, because of the system we are in, but when it comes to the hard choices of creating more cost and inconvenience to yourselves, then you do have an idea what you are asking of others, even of the corporate dog-eat-dog world of global competition.
The car companies will eventually see the profit in selling you a "green" car, but they got to make the hard decisions on how to accomplish that, how to create the market for it, how to have the costs paid for AND make a profit, for none of you have done any less in your own lives.
