COMMENTS: When gas costs $7.00 a gallon by ABC on Tue Sep 07, 04 3:47pm [+] I suspect it may happen before 2010 ... there is alreday a waiting list for most brands. by Cathexis on Tue Sep 07, 04 3:48pm [+] I HOPE by mojo on Tue Sep 07, 04 4:28pm [+] Wont happen as long as their is a Republican in the White House. by Duckhead on Tue Sep 07, 04 4:55pm [+] It won't happen while the oil and car companies hold the patents to the new technology, which they do own and do repress. FACT. by keithsheen on Tue Sep 07, 04 5:37pm [+] Duck, the government has nothing to do with. The development of hybrid cars was a free market venture independent of the feds. Which is exactly how this sort of technology should be developed. The last time we had a major oil crises fuel efficiency in automobiles increased drasticly, not because the government said so but because it was economical for businesses to develop that sort of car. Gas was expensive and people didn't want to pay so much at the pump. I imagine hybrids will become more popular and more efficient as the price of gas goes up, it's as simple as that. by herzog on Tue Sep 07, 04 5:41pm [+] Long-time, and never as long as the Republicans are in charge. by cdubatrc on Tue Sep 07, 04 5:45pm [+] cdub, these cars are being marketed and sold under a republican government right now. How do you explain that? by herzog on Tue Sep 07, 04 5:48pm [+] When the blood sucking oil companies are no longer able to make profits from oil. by USMC on Tue Sep 07, 04 7:33pm [+] herzog, sometimes I just like to be a dick and blame Bush for everything, this is one of those times. lol (but I admit it) He definitly does not want these cars in the near future to be popular but I think you are right its a free enterprise and nothing is stopping independant companies from capitalizing. by Duckhead on Tue Sep 07, 04 7:48pm [+] 1 week after the oil runs out. by tadgerman on Wed Sep 08, 04 8:06pm [+] Yes, there's a free market. That said, most of these companies' executives are in bed with the government, which is already in bed with Big Oil. by xxxxxxxx on Sat Oct 02, 04 4:50am [+] i'll just drive a clean "diesel-engine" vehicle. by thearbiter on Sun May 08, 05 3:36pm [+] I intend to BURN STUFF for propulsion means, as long as I can. It's my life's work to be dumb, and to add to the rising CO2 levels, clean atmosphere be damned. TECHNOLOGY will save MY ass, if not yours. I intend to do Nothing about it, and just keep on hoping. That's my plan. That's Bush's plan that's America's plan and we're stuck with it. KEEP ON BURNING STUFF: that's just The Right Way to get around...by burning stuff. JUST SAY NO TO ELECTRIC CARS - they'll clean up the atmosphere - yuk! by aplmac on Fri Jun 01, 07 1:30pm [+]
