You might want to look up the word "basic" in the dictionary.

You invent a stupid argument and then "win" by insisting the argument is mine. Of course the argument is going downward.
The damage done by cars is terrible, and their impact can and should be reduced. But the POTENTIAL damage that cars could ever do is little different than the actual damage we see today. Cars can't wipe out whole towns or cause cancer all over the planet.
Also, cars empower people in a unique way that can't yet be replaced by any other technology. By comparison, nuclear power creates electricity that is no different than renewables, and will cost far more in the long run, once the damage these plants will inevitably cause is factored in. For the Price of the Iraq War, The U.S. Could Have a 100% Renewable Power System.

Why should I need to remind you that people are fighting nuclear "just as much" when I was doing just that in the previous post? You are just being obtuse to bog down the argument in irrelevant side issues.
