You skipped>Our gas consumption here in the US is down. Big SUV plants are closing>
So I disagree with your>>the solution will have to come with United State's leadership.
btw> all your absolute claims have snags, your wording could pull the rug out from many arguments. Most all your points are valid, they just don't hold water.
The power of the American market, American know how and smart American entrepreneurs is how we are working on it, right now, as we post. The US Gov did puts incentive in place long ago, unfortunately at $3 a gal. people still wanted big hog SUVs. Not at $4.....or$15;)
It might cost more to make a hybrid, NOW, than a Hummer, like all things they will come down in price as R&D and start up costs are paid off. The return over the life of the car is what will pay off big time, not how much goes into making it. More and more of them are hitting the streets, at a faster and faster rate. A 3 month wait for new hybrids isn't>>More green smoke being blown up everyone's arse. It's a fact of life as we do what you say we are not.
That huge dead zone around the nickel mine does suck. What percentage of all the nickel mined so far went into batteries. Small I bet. It's better than the entire earth fried to a crisp or under water.
Your>How about all that war money stayed in the US< avoided my point> a call to use your and my oil money going into Saudi pockets to speed up oil's replacement.
You also avoided my claim that green goofs have the US in a much bigger mess NOW with high oil prices, than this so called global warming. My Island is not under water like in Al Gores movie, the price of oil is much harder on people, right now.
You also skipped the fact your hero All Gore flies in an old gas hog private jet and his BIG house is using more power this year than last.
..and my question on how you get your kids to school or how you think we should get our crops to market was skipped.
