They are more a status symbol than an effective mitigant to the world's environmental problems. In fact, as astutely pointed out in the November 12 issue of the WSJ (article, "Obama's Car Puzzle") they are largely a detriment to the environment. Let the free market decide and these things will be priced properly. So long as the government promotes them you can be sure only that we will do more rather than less environmental damage by purchasing these expensive vehicles.
