Hi JP,
I'm thinking that the economy is going to bring a dose of reality to the big green plans. Short term needs will outweigh the bigger long term green issues.

In the coal industry they are big fans of electric cars. They call them "coal powered cars". So......electric cars are green, even if burning coal isn't (yes, I see the contradiction), but the other benefit is reduced reliance on mideast petroleum.

If this is couched as a national security issue as well as an economic health issue, then the green approach may be underwritten afterall.

Of more importance is if it puts the US at a disadvantage economically to the ROW.
