Ooooh... well.... the only negative soul crunching that occurs in these places 
is due to traffic. Large cities with less traffic (London at 3-7am) are 
incredible places.

But, yeah. The question is not internal combustion vs electric. Both are largely 
fuelled by coal and gas; maybe (if we're lucky) nuclear! So, the whole trip is 
gonna cost ya.

I'm guessing some kind of genetically engineered organism that just loves to 
produce alcohol, sitting in some great big vat, maybe pumped through channels in 
windows of massive skyscrapers, picking up the photons, drinking in the CO2 and 
cooling the air internally all at the same time.

Next challenge: Space travel!!
