Thank you thank you thank you for a well written and well thought out response to Wired's irresponsible and offensive story.

For a normally forward thinking and provocative magazine, this article just screamed of shock writing. It might have worked on some (ie. the soccor mom type who feels just a little bit less guilty about owning an SUV) but it didn't work on all of us.

The thing I think is even more deplorable is the fact that the article gave misdirected and misinformed "facts" for people who either don't agree with living a greener life, or want to feel better about a part of their over-consuming life.

It already makes my blood boil when I hear a woman in the grocery store saying she traded in her 12 mpg suv for a 16 mpg suv and she feels like she's doing some good, I can't wait till someone spouts WIRED's "fact" about a prius taking more carbon to make than an SUV.

Thanks for spreading misinformation WIRED, you almost lost my subscription.
