Some things to consider, though not always, or even usually true:

The guy driving the hybrid escalde may often transport 5-7 people and needs the room. Perhaps he has a large family or car pools. Would it be more green to have to have a different vehicle for every situation?

The guy driving the escalade has to carry product or samples for his job and needs the room. You don't really know what's behind the tinted glass. I'm glad he's working and helping us support our tax base.

The guy driving the escalade is determined to buy an American vehicle. Yes it's got parts from all over but at least the profits stay here and are taxed to help support our tax base.

The guy driving the escalade loves his Caddie, and has saved for a long time to own one. Even though he uses his bicycle most of the time, sometimes he just needs a vehicle and wants to roll in style.

We never know anyone's total situation, so shouldn't be too quick to judge. After all, he paid a loooooot extra for a few more mpgs.
