    John:

    I agree with you on this issue. The environment is serious trouble -
    the biosphere as we know it is now is on the way out - and
    considering the depth of the crisis, we will soon no longer have the
    freedom to be wasteful of critical resources (and thus to be idiotic.
    The more intelligent we are now in what we choose to drive now will
    result in less government restrictions on motoring choice in the
    futre. But the solution to people choosing to drive SUVs that get 15
    mpg is not punitive government regulation: a combination of
    education, government supporting technological shift, and financial
    incentives is required move to a more environmental benign form of
    transportation. The size of government doesn't necessarily restrict
    freedom, but what a government (no matter its size) does and and does
    not do, does curtail freedom. I'm off topic of Peugeot, but the idea
    that the government supporting the shift to more intelligent modes of
    transportation will automatically reduce freedom is simplistic and
    requires a response.
