Strong words from Eustis, a place I wouldn't except to see hybrid drivers. Y'all still banning satan from the city limits? I kind of agree with you -- but I kind of don't at the same time. For one thing, I subscribe to Green Car Journal. It's a good start. I don't think it's arrived yet, but with time it should. I don't think it's a waste of paper, and I don't think we're ready to live in a paperless world yet. I've been passing my old copies along to car guys who recognize that the G35s and 5 series BMWs they're driving aren't as consistent with their politics as getting 50 mpg might be.

Not all of my information comes to me electronically. I usually read green car journal on fights. I could sit around looking at my blackberry on an airplane... oh wait, no I can't because it's a wireless device. Or I could save webpages for viewing on a plane... but I wouldn't be able to read them for 20 minutes or so before taking off or 20 minutes or so before landing. That's 40 minutes of my life that might be wasted reading Sky Mall, the NYTimes, or the torture I put myself through reading Celebrated Living, and the Wall Street Journal and other crappy publications I read on my flight from Boston to DFW yesterday because I ran out of work I had with me to finish.

And while the substance of the magazine barely covers those 40 minutes or so of no computer time -- and thus I'll always have a book or something else with me (read: work), it's a whole lot better than most magazines.

My intent is to support green car journal to the point where it gains enough of a circulation to warrant distribution at Barnes and Noble and Borders and places like that. Because that will, in turn, increase awareness. And kill trees. But unlike petroleum, trees are a renewable resource.

I'm tired and shouldn't be typing because guess what? I get to fly to DC on Sunday, and there's a whole, whole lot of work to do between now and then.

And besides, it's not just hybrids, it focuses on clean diesel, E85, B100, fuel cells and other developments that keep me abreast of what the future might hold.
