What causes were available? There was no Vietnam War to protest, no sexual revolution or drug culture to adopt (live free and die), no generation gap worth exploiting. The Gap had become a clothing store, the counterculture reduced to a few average hysterics who thought it exciting to proclaim God dead and the family expendable. As for opposing technology, it seemed out of the question. A decision had already been made to join our machines rather than beat...
...driven energy use and emissions steadily upward. By 2000 Americans will be pumping out 8% more greenhouse gases than in 1990. Reversing that trend would be tough in any case, but politics makes it even tougher. An alliance of industry leaders and Republicans loudly insists that making Americans adopt costly energy-saving technology could put the economy into a crash dive. At the very least, they say, a global-warming treaty must impose strict cutbacks on poor, developing countries as well as on rich, industrial nations.

California, with the nation's filthiest air, was the first to adopt a radical strategy--ordering automakers to produce zero-emission vehicles. And, as the country's largest auto market--with 1 of every 7 cars sold in the U.S.--it has the clout. Six years from now, under California rules, 10% of new cars offered for sale--about 100,000 a year--must be exhaust-free. But even with the deadline so close, only GM and Honda Motor Co., have been bold enough to target consumers with their electric cars. Other automakers have focused on government and commercial fleets...
