Buying less stuff would work. Converting my power to a more expensive solar or wind power solution doesn't work.
Now, if the government would place more emphasis into solar and wind power, that would work.

People buy new cars all the time. You don't have to sell the one you have and run out and buy a new one, just see to it that the next one you buy isn't a pointless gas guzzler. Is that so hard?

Yes, people buy new cars all the time, and those that do are obviously buying smaller, more fuel efficient cars, considering the SUV and big truck market is drying up, but if my car is paid for, and it runs good, I'm not going to go add another monthly payment to my already overinflated cost of living, just to get better gas milage.
But, chances are when I buy a new car, which is 3-5 years for most people, I'll be buying a more fuel efficient car.

To some people. Other people don't like needless pollution, never mind the bigger ramifications that you may or may not believe exist.

What does THAT have to do with anything?
You can't honestly expect people to go add another $300-$1000 dollars per month onto their budget just because they don't want to pollute the world as much?
Honestly?
