George F. Will discusses the reasoning behind the "What Would Jesus Drive?" campaign.
"The 'WWJD?' preachers say SUVs are polluting God's creation. Others say SUVs harm the war against terrorism because they burn too much gasoline, thereby benefiting oil-exporting Middle East regimes that support terrorism. And critics have said SUVs are unfairly safe because, being big and heavy, they protect passengers in crashes with the sort of smaller vehicles that environmentalists want to shoehorn Americans into...Thanks to better technology and sensible regulations, today's new cars produce less than 1 percent of the emissions produced by 1970 cars...Jesus reportedly arrived in Jerusalem on a fuel-guzzling and high-pollution conveyance, a donkey."
