Agreed, both on the whole and in the details. But if I'm forced into the "either/or" mindset of the OP of a hypothetical choice to shrink GDP by 1% by stopping all vacation car travel or deficit spend 1% GDP as a "Manhattan Project" to get lab grown beef commercially viable, I'm voting for the latter.

The latter sounds like fantasy though, and it's not the lab-grown meat per se I'm talking about.

Also I wasn't talking about car usage exclusively during vacations, I was explicitly talking about private car usage.

People literally get governmental subsidies for building homes in the suburbs, then commute by car and pollute the planet in order to avoid car traffic.

Anyone who fails to see the absurdity of this has drank too much Kool-aid for my taste.

If your issue is global warming you should be campaigning for electric cars rather than against private cars. But I suspect you actually dislike cars in and of themselves, even if they could be grown on trees and powered by banana skins.

I like driving cars or being a passenger in them. Cars are not a subject but an object, a tool to me. But since you ask:

Yes, I hate cars when being outside them, because they are a major obstruction and source of pollution, noise and overshooting environmental damage. I hate their abundance.

I'm not sure what you are talking about with the hypothetical banana car and why you care about my feelings.

Seems like an ideological argument to me.

Do EVs grow on trees?

I agree that global warming is only the tip of the iceberg of the damage we do.
