Identify a counterclaim for the following argument.
1 Gas-powered cars are the largest private source of air pollution.
2The government should fund the building of public transportation systems to reduce air pollution.
3Some hybrid car engines produce up to 90 percent fewer harmful emissions than gas-powered car engines.
4Electric and hybrid cars are designed to last for 12 to 15 years.
A potential counterclaim for this argument could be:
5 Gas-powered cars contribute significantly to the economy through job creation and tax revenue, and therefore reducing their usage could have negative economic consequences.
