@CobaltVelvet well Id probably pour research into the creation of new and different hydrocarbons which is what we would be doing today if oil didn't fuel imperialism.
Your logic about corps destroying the planet is applicable to everything in production, this isn't a problem with cars themselves it's an issue with manufacturing and capitalism. Refusing to participate in the market and mitigating the demand for new cars is far more eco friendly then trashing old cars and making more landfills
