  • No, there is no more to the "sport" than gas-guzzling. The whole entire object of racing is to go as fast as possible, which equates to burning as much gas as possible. If all of our innovations come from motorsports, why aren't there any hybrid or battery-powered cars on the race tracks? How come there are no fuel cells out there? These are all innovations in consumer automobiles, so how'd they skip the motorsport vehicles if all of the innovations we have come from motorsports??

  • Munter's job is to waste gasoline for entertainment. It doesn't matter how many offsets she buys after each race, her actual profession consists of creating useless carbon emissions. How the hell does that earn her a place on this list, let alone the #1 spot?

  • Umbra, you write as if your opinions on politeness and etiquette are fact - they're not. They're just opinions. Stick to writing posts about facts. Because the fact of the matter is, if we all were a bit less "polite," we'd be saving billions of gallons of water.

  • We DO burn lots of oil for electricity

    Mr. Romm, you say that "...since we don't burn much oil to make electricity,"  but this couldn't be farther from the truth. In fact, oil is used to generate more electricity than any other energy source, generating about 40% of our nation's energy.  You can find this info at US DOE's website: http://www.energy.gov/energysources/oil.htm
