Paris To Test Banning SUVs In the City

thecarchik writes "Paris may be the first city to experiment with such a policy. Next year, it will begin to test restrictions on vehicles that emit more than a certain amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) per kilometer — the measure of a car's contribution to greenhouse gases. An official within the Parisian mayor's office, Denis Baupin, identified older diesel-engined cars and sport-utility vehicles as specific targets of the emissions limit. Residents and travelers have responded by buying thousands of electric cars, including the low-speed fiberglass G-Wiz — despite major safety concerns with the vehicle."

If they made a clean pollution free SUV.

I am the same sort of person who would want to ban regular SUVs but I would also want to ban one that runs on zero point energy. I consider the SUV to be a sign of the "rich spoiled overclass". They are big and obnoxious and very annoying.

I think the worst thing that could ever happen to humanity would be for it to develop a pollution free way to generate almost unlimited energy. Then the filthy beings on this plane that call themselves "human beings" would want to colonize and pollute the rest of the cosmos. We should have died out with the other species of humans that evolved from dirty smelly polluting monkeys.

We think we own the planet, we should bow to mother nature and die off like the evolutionary dead end we are.

i mnetioned canada. you should read, then respond. i am well aware of your oil sands. i will give you more credit than you have given me and assume you are also aware of the pollution involved in processing those sands

canuckistan supplies most of our oil, yes. however, giving money to canucks is not as frightening as giving money to wahabbis who fund al qaeda. thus the saudi bugaboo. so perhaps in the interest of american energy independence you canucks could do something unstable, like declare war on denmark or claim the north pole. canadians are just so... harmless and innocuous
