Show me a zero-carbon vehicle of any sort. If no emissions is the only acceptable standard, then killing oneself is the only rational conclusion. Fortunately, zero is not necessary.

I can't conceive of a world without politics and religion (loosely defined) because those are the only mechanisms to derive value and assign social authority. A world without those things is comatose; a vegetative state. That's the only way for humans to be technically living, but without meaning.
