Environmental hypocrisy is the new Prius, it seems. While people coo about Toyota they label the Tata Nano an environmental disaster.

Why? Because it gets 54 MPG? No, because the new middle class in India can afford it, which means more cars and more emissions. The 15% of the world that has 2/3rds of the cars telling third world people who are finally making some money (and isn't a better life what we all said we wanted for people?) they can't have a car without causing the earth's destruction doesn't sound all that progressive.
