So you could say a thoroughly US-american attitude

Not at all... I think you'll find that preferring comfort to discomfort and
convenience to inconvenience prevails in most parts of the developed world,
and much of the developing world as well. Not sure why you regard this as a
'US-american attitude' - another agenda bubbling to the surface I suspect


Short question: what's the sense in comfort if we knowingly ruin our
environment? Unless proven otherwise combustion engines cause massive
pollution which will cause future generations to live in less quality
than we do - a bit selfish I'd say.

Very... But I don't have a problem with that :-)
