If Cars Are the Problem, They Can Also Be the Solution

But what if the public does not want the cars? This is just continuing the old failed policies that got us here.

For all the Hype, hybrids are 3% of the market and Toyota is delaying building the Prius plant. Why? Because at $4 a gallon for gas, a Prius is a bad financial decision, at $1.50 a gallon it is a joke.

If you actually want fuel economy, tax gas to $5 and push it to $8, the market will decide. Great idea, but neither party has the political will. the oil companies don't control the auto companies, dummy - the control your government.

Quit the union bashing and all the "Americans are stupid" crap. What are the two best selling vehicles in America in 2008? The Ford F150 and the GM Silverado/Sierra. The Toyota truck is a distant fourth in part because it's fuel economy stinks comared to the American Trucks.
