> Just that they're still 'developing' and aren't even close to the historical contributions of the US?
This is a sham excuse. Building coal power plants before solar or nuclear were viable or even existed is not the same as choosing to do it in modern day.
> Explain me why the average car in the US is a tank with horrible fuel economy?
The "best selling" light vehicles in the US are pickup trucks because the sales numbers aren't divided out into personal and business purchases and businesses buy a lot of trucks. The best selling non-pickup is the Toyota RAV4, which gets better than 30 MPG in the non-hybrid version and better than 40 MPG in the hybrid version.
Come on. This is bullshit and you know it. There's >10M light trucks sold each year and <3M passenger cars.
This is not because most of those trucks are used by some business, this is because people like to drive around in them.
The 40+ MPG Hybrid Toyota RAV4 is a "light truck" in those numbers.
