The most likely fix should be natural gas for the next century. Hybrids are a good start toward our addiction to oil but no fix. The most likely fix should be natural gas for the next century.

The party is over! Abundances in America have been exhausted! Instead of looking backwards, or at how Europeans have survived all these years, we must innovate, using the best modern discoveries and technologies. Greedyest corporations must merge, buy, sell or otherwise trim themselves down to the 'best, cheapest, fastest, least resource consuming' responses to our needs. I will watch their opportunistic cannibalism with great satisfaction, knowing that now that the chips are down, they must serve me and my environment to survive themselves!

Hopefully, this time around we have learnt the lesson that was lost on all of us in 1970s. I truly believe that this time we have. There is a lot of exciting research going on. Thanks Wayne for a excellent article. How revealing. Hopefully, this time around we have learnt the lesson that was lost on all of us in 1970s. I truly believe that this time we have.

Bringing to light the original hybrid was a great idea. Close to no one remembers Porsche's invention there. Good going! Nick, Electricnick,com What a perfect post.

I find it to be refreshing and very informative. I wish there were more blogs like it. Anyway, I felt it was about time I posted, I?ve spent most of my time here just lurking and reading, but today for some reason I just felt compelled to say this.
