That no matter what scientists and engineers try, when combusting fossil fuel, the exhaust smells like a terrible latrine.
I think that would spur a quick response from everyday citizens as to what they heat their homes with, or how they get around their cities.
I like the direction of this thought. I’ve imagined the same, until I remembered that before fossil fuels, humans used whale oil for lamps, lubricants, soaps, etc, and cut down trees for heat.
This is one of those “be careful what you wish for” scenarios. 8 billion people burning trees for heat and killing whales for lighting creates a whole new hellscape.
Make it red too
That's a clever one.
