Oh, he probably gets it. But saying and being drummed out of office is
something else again. Jimmy Cartet "got it" and look what happened to
him.
It's the vast majority of US citizens that "don't get it" and won't,
until they have to. People in the US are mad about gas prices, but
they are not mad they we have no energy policy.

Hybrids "on threshold of commercialization"
Sorry folks. But Senator Lieberman just doesn't get it.
Someone should suggest the following as mandatory viewing as his primer.
http://www.endofsuburbia.com/
Hybrids won't solve the problems we face, especially when they're now
being engineered in ways that compromise their previous efficiency for
acceleration capability. Even alternative fuels won't solve them. We've
reached peak production at the global scale. The only way for demand to
match reductions in production is immediately reduced consumption. That
means no ten year lag in waiting for hybrid market share to increase.
That means no ten year lag in biofuels to garner market share.
What it does mean is an immediate concerted effort between
conservation,
overnight retooling of Detroit for efficiency (or else the big three
further lose market share and quickly go belly up) and alt fuels.
Anything less than a three pronged attack means a devastating change in
"the American lifestyle."
And we damned sure wouldn't want to disappoint or upset George Junior
or
Blaire by having to alter the overall American/Western lifestyle in
order to prevent suburban collapse and general economic pandemonium,
now would we?
