So let them deal with the issue, just like we have had to deal with the issue of nuclear weapons after we dropped the A-Bombs on Japan to end WWII.

Neither did we! Decisions are made today that solve one problem but have far reaching consequences into the future.

Exactly.

While we can make comparisons that distract from the discussion however a simple review of the thread will reflect that the material posted warning of what some segments of society have planned for the incremental phase out of the internal combustion engine is very real.

As an example the catoylitic converter is front and center here as in 1970 the big three were laughing at the prospect. By 1972 the automotive press was openly calling the new car offerings "Lemons" and the converter was the law soon after. What caused this was regulation backed by the junk science of period this was the so called "hole in the Ozone".

The domestic Auto industry was damaged severely during this period some will say it has still not recovered.

We would be well advised to heed the warnings provided by history.
