It may also be about comfort. At least if one is driving, even if one

Guaranteed a seat, control of the climate, decent quality stereo and peace &

So you could say a thoroughly US-american attitude :-( Though even these
guys tend to consider their way (slowly).

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.
