what happens if the price falls to $70 and $3? The motivation goes away as after the 70s. Unfortunately, I think you're right. The one thing people respond to more than any other is getting hit in the wallet. But I'm not of the view that we should artificially inflate prices to keep people focused on the problem.

I posed the same question to John and since you are his "right" hand man, you guys need to come up with an answer because I can't. That's entirely possible and not necessarily a bad thing - the conversion will come when it's economically required. So we catch a break and allow more time for alternatives to be developed why is that bad? GMC has the volt coming in 2010, Honda announced a hydrogen fuel cell car for "lease" in 2010 - the alternatives are on the way - but 2010 is just the beginning - tax credits will be needed for those vehicles as they'll be far too expensive due to limited production to start - unlike the prius today which has ramped well and no longer needs a credit. A bigger issue for the Honda is fueling stations - now that's someplace government could assist.
