You go too far here. I'm sorry, but I am sure I am not
the only one here whois getting a little tired of the
holier than thou tirades. ...

FWIW, most vortexians completely understand and sympathize with the fact
that low-income individuals & families cannot afford to purchase expensive
energy efficient hybrids. It is, in fact, one of the vexing problems with
the current market of energy efficiency vehicles - they ain't cheap. Ya
gott be rich to afford them. I can't afford one either.
One of the reasons we agititate for a new energy regime such as cold fusion
is out of concern for social justice. For those who are struggling in this
world. Taking expensive energy out of the current economic equation would
certainly raise everyone's standard of living in many ways. On our way to
an exotic energy source like cold fusion or ZPE we can focus on some of the
exciting new energy technologies from new solar schemes to highly efficient
automobiles to bring about some energy parity. The way gasoline is racing
higher this summer should indicate to everyone that gasoline does not have a
future as a prime energy source.
