Driving is awesome, I am way better protected in the event something goes wrong, and I don't have to care about the weather.
This isn't popular here, but I have been indoctrinated by environmental bullshit as a kid and teen and I am done with that. I pay high gas taxes and if that can't more than offset the environmental impact whomever is in charge should be fired for incompetence.

No, you don't pay high taxes, and second, political forces are such that gas taxes can not be raised to what they should be to prevent your "firing for incompetence." The politics don't work that way.
Friend, all the money is the world cannot undo environmental damage. Your tax dollars for gas are for revenue, not to offset environmental damage. Accepting this is very important.
If you have any doubts, throw all your greenbacks into a volcano and let us know if it stops erupting.
