Below are two examples of what's being done now. One a private enterprise and the other by Ford its self in Europe. Not saying these two are the solution only that if they had wanted we could have had even better affordable vehicles running around all over our country if only they had even given just a bit of a shit. A crash program on super efficient affordable vehicles better be part of the deal for saving their sorry asses.

Aptera’s $26,000 Electric Car and 300 MPG Hybrid Coming Soon
Another
Published on September 9th, 2008
Back in July, Ford released the details of a new Fiesta it plans to begin selling this November. The new car is based on Ford’s ECOnetic platform and can get 63 mpg in the city and 73 mpg on the highway. So why is it only available in Europe? It’s a diesel, and Ford doesn’t think Americans will ever adopt diesel cars.
Sometimes I think the heads of Ford and GM want the companies to fail. Chrysler was taken over by a consortium with Dan Quayl on it, what does that say?
ReplyDeletenot only that, but how much tax monies does the state collect from the selling of fuel? if we drove cars that don't eat up fuel then they lose a source of easy revenue. they don't want that!
