Yes, but how often do you hear about how driving too fast uses fuel too fast and so we, the general population should look at more economical cars and drive at moderate speeds to reduce our overall fuel consumption?

Thus we have hybrid cars and (among other reasons) posted speed limits.

Of the worlds fuel consumption total, private passenger cars are not the most wasteful outlet. Look into almost any of the commercial/business ventures out there and you see the real danger to our enviroment. Shipping companies, airlines, freight haulers. The infrastructure that makes our society work.

Why dont the activists target such profitable companies?

Simple. The companies fight back and they fight dirty.

We dont. We say, oh my god! I had no idea.

And then we buy hybrids and do just what we are told.
