    Freedom of choice is certainly important but we do all have to work together for the sake of our future and our children’s future. It is certainly a good idea to set efficiency and emissions standards, including up to a controlled transition to zero emissions.

    It’s not even close to a situation of forcing any customers: we’re at a stage of forcing manufacturers to improve their products and work toward a transition in 11 years, and help encourage a growing market for them to profit by it.

    This is back to old arguments like:

    • free speech but you can’t yell “FIRE” in a coowded theater
    • freedom to swing your arms, that stops before you hit my face

    And connected to Tragedy of the Commons.

    • breathable air and livable environments are something we all need in common. You have no right to take that from the rest of us

      breathable air and livable environments are something we all need in common. You have no right to take that from the rest of us

      And based on this logic, you only get the right to take my freedom when can prove that I’m taking your livable environment away.
