They actually answered? Curious. I interned for my congressman for constituent services. We just wrote a brief summary and sent the information off to staff in DC. I doubt he really read most of them.

I'm not sure what I think about tax credits. I think I may be opposed to it, actually. Hybrids ar egoing to sell whether or not they're assisted by the government. Manufacturers will be sure of it. And, given the premiums consumers are willing to pay for larger cars, etc., I don't think a few hundred dollars is really going to influence that many decisions. It's a government expendature that could likely be better used elsewhere.
