I'm sorry if I bother you too much with Denmark, but it's a very good basis for comparance.askheaves, we don't make cars in Denmark (only Skoda which is cheap shit). Instead we import from Sweden and Germany mostly. Sweden makes Vovlo. All their newish models only output is CO2. The rest is collected in a filter. This goes for many other car manufacturers around. You are not the only ones using stuff like that. And I know what NOx gasses are I'm a chemist. But I also know that NOx gasses aren't a documented global problem. The problem is purely toxicity. This means that you could produce as much of that shit you'd like, and we wouldn't feel a thing over here. CO2 however is another matter. When producing that you do not only destroy your own environment. You destroy ours too. And that's what makes us pissed. And proclaiming that you want to increase the production of energy by drilling up more fossil fuels we get really pissed. You might need it because you haven't got enough as it looks now, but instead of drilling up more oil, you should try a different procedure. As we do in most of Europe everybody is told to save energy. If we need more power some something, we cut back on another thing. All the products in the stores are checked from end to bottom, for thing that could save energy. And the funny thing is that it works. We are actually saving it. It's stuff like turning off the computer, when not using it and stuff like going more than one in each car. So I don't believe you really NEED more power. You just need to divert it to the things you are actually using.
Other than that we pay something like 1$ pr. liter gasoline.
I wasn't meaning to talk only glory about Denmark. But covering the topic, my oppinion actually IS that we (most countries in the world) are doing a better job than you. On many other places you are so far ahead, that we wouldn't even try to keep up.
And the US is not hated because they're the biggest and "best". It really isn't. It has nothing to do with jalousy. It's the way you try to stay the "best" that bothers people. And war fanaticism.
