Now that everyone is throwing the pollution into it, I have a serious
question.

Since the European model of transportation is favored by a good number of
people in this thread, can anyone show that Europe has less pollution?  I
seem to remember something on the news a couple years back about how their
cities are smoggier than ours, despite the fact that they have advanced
mass transit.
