Wasn't the information superhighway a brainchild of Al Gore? Rest stops must be environmentally unfriendly to him.
Of course they are. They encourage people to travel long distances, because they provide the possibility of a temporary resting point between the two ends, breaking the longer distance into two (or more) shorter ones. And because they encourage travel, they encourage more use of various forms of automobile, which in turn means more usage of gasoline. And since gasoline seems to be anathema for the various environmental/preservationist groups, this makes rest stops a bad thing for them.
