Kind of reminds me of a sci-fi story I read as a child about a guy who lives near the desert and has a garage under his house, he has a muscle car in the garage (I don't remember what make/model).
Even though decades before fossil fuel burning vehicles were outlawed he cherrishes the car and keeps it up. He finally decides that he has to take it for one last drive. He uncovers it, puts the top down, fires it up and backs it out of the garage. He pulls it out on a desert highway, long abandoned, and takes it through the gears. He is in heaven.
Meanwhile, over a hundred miles away a sensor goes off at a military base. CO2 emissions detected. A hydrogen powered helicopter takes off to intercept the violator. As they approach the vehicle a loud speaker directs the driver to pull over and exit the vehicle, he keep driving. Again a warning comes from the helicopter to pull over or force will be authorized. The driver keeps the pedal down and accellerates.
The hellicopter climbs, targets the car with an air to ground missle and fires. The car is hit, completely destroyed, and the burning hulk rolls off the highway.
The pilot and crew congratulate themselves that yet another criminal has been eliminated.
Every time I hear Al Gore I think of this story!
