You obviously don't live in a dense city and if you do, you're obviously ignorant to the density of pollution here. The point isn't to eliminate pollution, it's to reduce the density of it. Gas powered isn't free either, it (DUH) also has an environmental impact, all the way from processing to combustion. Neither is solar if you follow it from production to end product.
Rockland county's much different from NYC. Millions of vehicles in a densely populated city spewing anything out in the air isn't the solution since most only drive 20-30 miles a day.
I understand you love to point out flaws and ask "what if?" but do you have any ideas for resolving the problem?
