Tax
credits for hybrids "tinkering around the edges"?
A tough, new article by
BusinessWeek, Bush
is blowing smoke on energy notes that vehicles
account for 60% of U.S. oil consumption and calls the
President's tax credit proposal for hybrid cars
"tinkering around the edges".
Energy independence from foreign oil is possible with
today's technology. That's a fact.
If the U.S. is at war against terror, why isn't ending
foreign-oil dependency as quickly as possible a national
priority? Why isn't every one conserving and pitching in -
as we did during WWI and WWII?
BusinessWeek says it's politics, I say it's pathetic.
Regardless, while tax credits for hybrids and other clean
technologies might be tinkering, they could help force
Detroit to come to grips with fuel efficiency, and that
would be much better than doing nothing.
How can this message be sent to the Senate?

The Hybrid Car
Revolution
Significant
reductions in foreign oil dependency and pollution make
a hybrid car a great choice.
Furthermore, new
legislation in California to help curb SMOG and Global
Warming should provide a huge boost to the hybrid market
- since a full, gas-electric hybrid is currently
able to meet the first round of California's landmark
legislation.
Already the Toyota
Prius has had its production increased to 100,000
hybrid cars
for the U.S. market due to ever-increasing demand.
American corporations -
U.S. automakers - are not focused on a future of a
'better tomorrow', but instead, 'as much profit as
possible today'.
We the people, must be the
difference. Join the revolution, buy a hybrid car
