There's a fair bit of information out there suggesting that Hummers are actually better for the environment than other SUVs or even the Toyota Prius. That's not to say it's accurate, but maybe there's a possibility they're just badly informed? And maybe we're not all willing to do everything we know is best for the environment. I only recycle what I get a deposit back on. But I use cloth bags for my groceries and I campaign for environmental issues. It's good to see anybody doing anything right.
My favourite quote from all this is: “Many people are quick to attack big cars - they say the solution is to buy small vehicles which get better gas mileage. But no, we need a better technology.”
