If anyone gives me a hard time about my catless setup, I am just going to point to their big V8 (I don't care if it has cats or not- it guzzles 2-3x the gas my car does), their huge home that needs a LOT more energy to maintain than my apt does. It's all about choices and the holier-than-thou group who folllow all the laws and rules as they are written are the ones raping the environment a lot worse than nay dude in a 4 banger that gets 31 MPG.
As for electric- it still takes power (which in my area is made by burning fossil fuels) and there's line loss to deliver that power to the e-car. I'm not convinced electric is any cleaner than my car is.
As for hybrids- ever car should have regen braking. But there's a prob with hybrids- those batteries are toxic and they require rare earth minerals that often come from countries which use exploited human labor. Clean is a sliding scale...
