James Woolsey plugs hybrid plug-in vehicles again
R. James Woolsey, a director
of the CIA during the Clinton Administration, has been a
huge advocate for plug-in hybrid vehicles, and he has a
featured article on the Wall Street Journal, Gentleman,
Start your Plug-Ins. "Subsidizing expensive
substitutes for petroleum, ignoring the massive
infrastructure costs needed to fuel family cars with
hydrogen, searching for a single elegant solution--none of
this has worked, nor will it. Instead we should encourage
a portfolio of inexpensive fuels, including electricity,
that requires very little infrastructure change and let
its components work together: A 50 mpg hybrid, once it
becomes a plug-in, will likely get solidly over 100 mpg of
gasoline (call it "mpgg"); if it is also a
flexible fuel vehicle using 85% ethanol, E-85, its mpgg
rises to around 500, " states Woolsey.
So keep buying those hybrid
cars, it invests in the future of hybrid technology.
Also, make sure your representative in Congress
understands that tax incentives for today's hybrid
vehicles and tomorrow's plug-in
hybrids is an investment in the future.
