Re: Extend credits for efficiency, not gadgetry
I have no problem with giving the credits as are and agree that the higher mileage non-hybrids deserve a break as well, since FE is the largest piece of the pollution puzzle but not the only one. The fact that hybrids spend any portion of their active life not adding to smog emissions (SOx & NOx, etc.) and when adding these emissions do so at ~ 10% rates of non-hybrids make the current breaks reasonable to me.
