No I wouldn't but I would be happy enough to ride an electric bike.

You are right about our creature comforts but there is no harm in trying to reduce ones impact on our environment.

I do have a very great interest in alternative energy production and a question I keep asking when looking at products in this ilk is, how long will it take to repay the environmental impact in it's production.

there was an interesting program on TV last night about farming in Brazil, showing their bio-fuel production. Clever stuff.

Re some of the earlier comments, - sure global warming/change has been going on for millions of years, - I am sure when they cut down millions of trees from North America for their intensive farming there was an impact somewhere in the world, - but nowadays we have almost instant reporting of news worldwide, so we get to see the impact. And combined with a global economy that is not able to react quickly to change the main problem with change is down to money/shareholders etc.
