Seriously, the "light truck" market is a joke. They're passenger cars for guys who pretend their balls are so big they need a truck to lug them around in.

I mean that it's wrong to think we know what a legitimate use case for a truck is, and that the proper way to reduce fossil fuel burning isn't to promote philosopher kings to dictate to the nth degree of infinite uses what is legitimate and what is not, but instead to just make it more costly to burn fossil fuels.
Usually I'm saying that issues are much more complex and difficult to solve than we realize, but in this particular case, it's way easier, and I suspect all the dumb and wasteful programs that exist ostensibly to curb fossil fuel burning is the product of profound ignorance at best, or extreme corruption at worse, and both seem likely.
