Repent, pdq? For what?

I've owned three cars in my life. A Toyota Corona, which I drove for fourteen years before trading it in, a Honda Civic, which I had for thirteen years, and currently a Toyota Corolla. All three cars have four cylinder engines. Excellent mileage. Most of the time, the car sits in the garage. If I drove a Hummer or some other SUV or general all around gas-guzzler, then there would be cause to repent. Or if we drove when we didn't need to. If this city had a decent public transportation system, we'd use that.

Someone made a cogent comment once. He or she said, "We won't have non-polluting solar power 'til someone figures out how to run a sunbeam through a meter." Make a non-polluting energy source available and we'll use that.
