They're not even arguments.

I'm not saying that people should keep driving.

I'm answering the question "why aren't cars going away".

Unless you think that people just aren't aware that public transport / riding / walking is more environmentally friendly than driving, the only conclusion I can come up with is that people care more about the factors I mentioned than environmental impact (or at least, that time-discounting of delayed negative externalities is significant).

> It's by far the most convenient and quickest to burn coal.

For who? I'm talking about the factors that influence consumer choice, not producers.
