We KNOW that electric cars work. The question is why did the likes of GM pull theirs, crush them and refuse to deal with them even when their customers loved them? Now that GM no longer has electric cars, they're going bankrupt trying to catch up to hybrids which were introduced in order to catch up to GM's electric cars. How idiotic is this? Where in the world are hydrogen pumps going to come from and is this the deal between the likes of GM and ExxonMobil? Do oil companies want to peddle hydrogen rather than deal in the electric market? All we need, of course, is a temporary decrease in the price of gas (say, a year or so) and Americans will be back buying Hummers and SUVs. The one good thing about the ExxonMobil Tax on the American public is that it makes it more like that ExxonMobil will go out of business (either permanently or in its currently corrupt incarnation) sooner rather than later. cbsnews.com
