You Can't Please Environmental Crazies

The "Nano"

An Indian car maker, Tata, has unveiled their new "Nano," which is small enough to carry in a briefcase and gets 54 MPH, if you believe the press release. The environmentalists ought to be giddy with excitement, but they're not. They're afraid that if this car sells well, it will encourage more and more people to drive, elevating the pollution. What mileage would make them happy? None, probably, because anything that encourages more people to drive is bad, to them. I predict that if this car becomes popular in the U. S., the death rate will rise. And if they publish data car make-specific, this car will be at the top of the list of cars involved. (Jalopnik)
