A good and subtle point, Gary. Similar to the also-subtle point about electric

come from?! Thankfully, it appears that question, at least, has been rendered
moot by the debut of hybrid gas-electric cars....

much pollution is created, energy and resources used in the manufacture of the
new car that is going to replace the obsolete vehicle you've chosen not to use
