From the tenor of the article I’d say this guy was already green. Note his comments about the NRA.

There are several types of racing.

Nascar, IndyCCar, Formula 1, Le Mans, and many more.

A Nascar vehicle weighs twice that of a Formula 1.

A Nascar engine has three times the displacement of a Formula 1 engine.

Nascar and Formula 1 engines yield about the same power at this time. 650 hp.

Nascar and Formula 1 vehicles reach approximately the same top speeds.

Le Mans runs diesels in their top class.

Formula 1 is experimenting with KERS and IndyCars used some kind of short power boost capability.

These and other race categories invent, test, develop, use or reject many technologies which later become standard equipment on passenger vehicles, including important safety features.

Fuel economy is a topic in top level racing.

Far from being wasteful; racing is useful to develop the future.

Plus it is fun, a concept rarely given much value.

Ooops. I think I got my threads mixed up.

IMO, the author prolly comes from the American college system. It was prolly where he learned just how important he and his delusions are.........in his world.
