Why shouldn't we be talking about which tech is better? If the goal is MPG why not develop 100 MPG petrol engines? That's easily doable (actually it's been done). Why not invest in bike trails and protected bike lanes? What about bio-diesel and other solutions like fuel cells? The problem with hybrids is that they do very little to solve any problem, yet make people think they're doing something. That's also the good part: they generate conversation and get people thinking. (Just like Mr. Bush's private accounts) My point is, hybrids are not a serious solution to any of the environmental issues we face. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:155655 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
