I dont believe that full jetliners approach equating with suv costs per driver let alone empty flights, small business jets and helicopters either. ofcourse this is leaving out a supposed big concern behind all this which is pollution and suvs no where near approach the pollution amount that these aircraft do. this is why I believe that the environment is not the driving force behind this but its an attack against a way of life that people dont agree with and includes anti-capitalist socialists and communists.
I dont want bullet trains in america with security checks by incompetents and long waits at the station riding in trains next to people that I wouldnt like to smell, hear, or be around. I want the freedom to drive what I choose even if other people wouldnt like it and I believe suv's wouldnt be a concern if we would build more refineries and drill more american oil. Im ok with alternative sources if people want them but Im not ok with confronting suv drivers at the pumps with hostility. if anyone should have to deal with hostility it should be the govt for getting us into this mess not suv drivers.
I can promise you this much if someone ever assumes my van is a big gas guzzler and "thanks me" at the pump for being a "small penis driver" I'll certainly thank them in return with much more "appreciation" which is why I hope for their sake that they only mouth off about it online if they dont like it.
