Plenty. It's sarcasm though.

Hybrids Lead the Way for Auto Transport Industry

These vehicles primarily reduce local emissions, where they are operated. The way to utilize this technology best is to impose "internal combustion free" zones. San Francisco, LA, and NYC come to mind. Ban all gasoline inside city limits. Surely that would make living and working in the city more bearable, and since their commutes are short, the vehicles would be an excellent choice.

And the pollution to make all that electricity would be conveniently in the midwest.

One point not touched upon as a difference... the number of "entitlements" which are now pegged to inflation, CPI, etc. In the 70's, those folks shouldered the burden of high inflation. This time, not so much. Better hope that the fed never acknowledges inflation.
