People bash the Hummer but the truth is that all cars pollute, a lot. Sure, the hummer probably pollutes about twice as much. But how many millions of cars and trucks are on the road and how many hummers are there proportionately? I would be willing to bet the change because of the addition of the hummer to atmospheric pollutants would be waaaaay less than .1% (no scientific evidence here, I just doubt it). And, most of the pickup trucks and SUV's you see arne't doing much better. Nor are many of the modern-day superpowered sedans with 300, 400 hp that probably also only get 12-14 mpg.
Lets face it - we are giong to keep driving gas vehicles for a limited time, and then the fact that the oil supplies are going to run out eventually will force us to switch products. And, hopefully when that day comes we can create a new type of engine that still produces at least 200 hp :).
