I was watching Team
America last night, which provided a few laughs, but was
mostly unimpressive. While making fun of Hollywood, the
movie also poked fun at hybrid
cars.
The other day I read an article about hybrids and the
carpool lane. A man shopping for a Honda Accord was told
of the Accord
hybrid and the fact that it might qualify for the
carpool lane, to which he said he didn't like the way
hybrids were styled.
Excuse me? Isn't the Accord hybrid styled the same as
the conventional Accord? Isn't the Ford
Escape hybrid styled the same as the conventional
Escape?
Is it just the winds of change that breed so much hate
and ignorance?
Hybrid vehicles are not about styling, but about
technology. The potential of hybrid technology could
change the world, freeing it from pollution and foreign
oil dependency - not to mention reducing the threat of
oil wars and terrorism.
Is that really so bad?
