Sorry for the grammar comment, just had to do it. LOL. Anyway, I agree that economics is the ultimate driver of adoption. However, hybrid technology is almost there for consumers. In the first few years of production, toyota has made a car for $20K that gets 50 mpg. The gas savings pays for the difference over the life of the car. Imagine how this technology will mature over the next decade. Eventually, they will make hybrid technology that gets even more mpg and costs less. So hybrids as a technology and the economics works very well. We need the gov't to help this nascent market continue to flourish. Fuel cells are also another technology that has plenty of promise. The technology already exists, they just need to bring the price down. If we focus on automobiles first, we can solve a good amount of our problems. Then we can move on to other energy issues. I'm in this first an foremost to deprive the Middle East of our money. If there are environmental benefits, then that's a bonus. But my priority is the oil dependency.
