Now would that be laws regarding noxious pollutants such as lead, carbon monoxide, and oxides of sulfur and nitrogen? Or laws regarding energy usage? I've yet to see any laws that prohibit a person from driving energy-wasting V-10 SUVs to the grocery store.

Well you are right, they are laws for pollutants.

For vehicle energy usage, they have the "gas guzzler" tax, to do as you say and encourage people to make the choice themselves. Thats working out really well for them obviously
