>>> US customers are increasingly switching to lighter, more fuel-efficient vehicles.

Isn't this what we want?

The good news is that within a few years 100% electric vehicles, or hybrids that are mostly electric, will be flooding the market.

The bad news is that American automakers don't have the gumption to participate in it -- so, it will amount to another missed opportunity for American business.

Still, the move to electrically powered vehicles will begin within 2-3 years, and will rapidly advance thereafter. So, for most of us, it should be a short-term problem.

Eventually, the Dems will give out "car credits" for people who want a new electrically powered vehicle but don't really have the money to buy one.
