880 #ClimateDebate #OnCars [4] #DebunkingPragerU

In my humble opinion it's always fun to see PragerU debunked.
But that's not why we're here.
Please contribute to the debate !
The video is organized around 7 statements by PragerU. [See below] It is not so much about the details. It's about a premise and the counter arguments made.
It may very well be that, on first glance, you agree with some of them. [Time stamps provided]
First watch the premise of PragerU and then the following de bunking. Are you 'debunked' or not, and why ?

And please remember the commitments of this debate as stated in Debate #OnCars [1] from yesterday.

1. Cars are central to American culture because they provide freedom [1:31]
2. Car culture is dying because of government [3:39]
3. Government and environmentalists hate personal freedom, and want you out of the car [5:09]
4. Instead of government enforcing fuel efficiency, it should have been left up to free market
5. Urban planners are building bike lanes, reducing parking spots, and investing in public transit, and this is a bad thing [9:25]
6. Despite government meddling, low gas prices encourage people to drive more, and buy bigger vehicles, and this is a good thing [12:43]
7. Car ownerships builds cohesion, brings the country closer together. [13:58]
