Regulations are a necessity...
...whether you like them or not. Whether you accept the fact or not, you are completely incorrect that people do not want smaller cars. Your cause and effect statements are entirely based around economics. The problem with that is that there is a growing community, including myself, that doesn't care if we have to spend a little extra to save the planet from destruction by the companies and people like you that fight against these regulations. We institute such regulations and vote for them, NOT because it makes us "feel good," but rather because we KNOW that these industries will NOT, in any way, shape, or form, regulate themselves or protect the environment without being FORCED to do so. If you believe differently, you are the clueless one.
So you go on believing that your environmentally-destructive lifestyle that you are advocating for is OK. The rest of us will fight to ensure that Earth is here for our future generations and to save it from the raping by dirty industries the best we can. Environmental destruction is a very bad thing - regardless of how much it benefits us economically. Money isn't everything, although that's what you'd like us to think...
