Ditto to what xcel said - hybrids work and if GM does not make a hybrid of their own they will eventually go out of business. The automotive and energy industries simply do not have that level of power.

Someone at work has been telling me someone built a car in the early 1970's that ran on water, but Detroit stoped them....lets think about this. You mean that if someone developed an 80mpg sedan or affordable alternative-fuel car, Detroit could just kill it? They could keep it from happening in Germany (with a SPD/Green Party coalition)? They could stop it in Japan, who imports all their energy? They could stop China from doing it?

I won't deny that Detroit would like to make gas-guzzlers as long as possible or the energy industry would like to continue with "business as usual", but the times are changing and they can't stop it.

61.5mpg lifetime - 82mpg in recent months
