Pretty good hybrid article
This is a newsletter I get at work (I work at a electric utility) and I thought this was a good article to pass on.

I hope everyone enjoys it.

"Step right up folks! Git yer Hummer Hybrid Hemi Horsepower Hog, the new H5! Triple the horsepower and only half the MPG! And knock the crap out of that dorky enviro-techno-geek hyper-freaking-miler while you're at it with our new monster-thumper 24 inch rims and super-baja knobby tires..."

Re: Pretty good hybrid article
I am as rabid a hybrid enthusiast as they come -- or so I have been told. But I disagree with the 90% of market outlook for HEVs.
Hybrid tech -- at least in its current form of all petrol for motive force, is a solution for driving large cars efficiently. Yes, I call the Prius and Civic large cars.
The near future of 5 - 10 years hence will be small cars with 1 Litre engines for people with small budgets, and Plug-ins for those that can afford them. I love Toyota and Honda -- they are already planning to bring to the US their super minis, a couple years ahead of what 95% of the US population can imagine today. Hooray for forward thinkers!
