I believe its illegal most everywhere in the U.S. for mortals to even touch anything emissions related. Where that line is drawn is unclear, at least to me. Certainly home maintenance is taboo. I mean, replacing a dirty air cleaner can affect emissions! Hell, starting your car on a cold morning affects emissions! Is turning that key illegal? What IS one allowed to do on their own car?

The real trouble is that radical greenies just want to eliminate all petrol-burning cars, and the industry that powers them. How they'll get to their rallies or what they'll wear is uncertain. Oh yea, on bicycles, bare-footed and in robes of home-made hemp cloth.

This all goes back to hatred of oil companies. Nasty polluters, every one of them. Who needs them?! We don't need gasoline or natural gas or lubricants or plastics or petrochemicals. Besides, we should all be walking or riding bicycles on uh, uh...natural rubber tires made without petrochemicals, lubricated with whale tallow, and with frames painted with organic paints, supplied from sustainably developed rain forest plants, and delivered in steam powered ships. We don't need oil companies! 

And...how dare oil companies make a profit!!! Anyone with one cent more than me is SATAN anyway! We hate them. Hate! Hate! Hate!

Actually, I have nothing against electric cars. They're pretty cool, actually. But even they, and the industry behind them, don't justify removal of oil based transportation. Even the mighty Clyde would have trouble flying an electric Airbus A380!

Whew! Relaxing now. Resting on my Temper-pedic (made from petrochemicals), typing on my Android device (made partially from petrochemicals, and other toxic materials, and delivered from China using oil), and enjoying retirement (on a pension from a long career in oil and gas exploration).

Well, that was fun. I think I'll now just go out and adjust the fuel injection in my old Volvo. Shhh.
