Who should be held accountable for a car’s effects on the environment? I've just started conducting a CO2 Emissions micropoll, over on my blog at the moment and am hoping this give some idea of what people are thinking.

See http://blog.wired.com/cars/2008/03/revealed-volksw.html , http://blog.wired.com/cars/2008/03/vws-golf-diesel.html and similar. Nothing technically impossible. The relatively new ability to sell diesel cars in California will probably help demand forecasts go up. VW is developing diesel hybrids, at least as concepts.
