But few add those costs. Average people world wide have to pay for that.

My question is about tractor trailer diesel emissions and huge tanker/cargo ship emissions.
HUGE polluters no one talks about..
Then again we will run out of affordable oil in abut 50 years so it will be a mute point..
What are we gonna use for energy then? Hot air from politicians?
