This is partially correct but the bigger reason is that our infrastructure is totally oil based. We have the world's largest interstate highway system and the majority of our goods travel via it as well as our populice using it to go and fro. Many other industrialized nations have more comprehensive public transportation and rail systems for moving goods. Plus we have the world's biggest economy so we simply have more volume to produce pollution. I am not making an excuse but the notion that we are just lazy and don't care isn't toally right.
