Ha, ha. Onkel Neal has been in Europe. Now he has some first hand knowledge of European bad habits... ('thoug I don't smoke!).

While Skybird has made some sensible remarks, his conclusions are wrong.
The reality is that Europe and the U.S.A. are two highly develloped economies with different approaches to taxing of energy. Both have a history as great polluters and both are working on ecological measures and cost-efficiency in energy consumption. Europe could be ahead in this field, which I really don't know, but if so, it's only a matter of small differences. Those differences are certainly is not contrasting enough to bring up the well known European hypocrisy and portray the U.S. as The Great Polluter of The World and Europe as lilly white...
