> Most people in America who drive a car don't have a choice, because it's they're in a situation where they either have reliable transportation or starve.

Yet, they would have the choice to buy a small electric car and ride-share, but prefer to buy a huge gasoline SUV and ride alone.

And it's not just about the cars (sorry if my comment gave that impression). It's about consumption in general. Yes, industrial emissions are higher that communal emissions, but for whom are the products that the industry consumes? Do we really need a new iPhone every year? Apple wouldn't produce them if people wouldn't prefer a slightly better phone over sustainable living, then they watch "Planet of the Humans" and complain that Apple's attempts to "sustainable production" isn't as green as it seems.
