Greenpeace After Your Hot Rod?

In a case reporters manufacturing news, few reporters from Bloomberg called around to advocacy groups including Greenpeace and asked what they think about Ferraris, Lamborghinis and the supercar like. Guess what? They don't much like them: “High-emission Ferraris are an indulgence the climate can’t afford today,” Michael Crocker, a Greenpeace spokesman told Bloomberg.
It's a manufactured faux-trend story, but the Bloomberg article probably speaks to what's to come. Greenpeace and the state environmental quality folks have more or less left supercars and classic guzzlers alone, aside for guzzler taxes. But we don't expect them to lay off for long. The cars are an easy target -- particularly classic cars, which, since they are no longer manufactured, have no natural advocacy group aside from the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association.
Here at Rumblenote, we eat tofu, own a fleet of bicycles and have been known to take long walks in the woods. We care about the environment. And we think the country should go after polluters, starting with the biggest dirt balls first. So after regulators take down big agriculture, coal-fired power plants, gassy cows and long-haul Camry commuters, we'll be ready to talk Ferraris and classic weekend drivers.
