1. hysteria is being created with global warming. I never said it was not happening. Your sarcastic response affirms that you believe I do not think global warming is real. I only stated hysteria is being created and people are profiting from the hysteria, ie Al Gore, automakers selling hybrids at a higher price than the sister vehicle with a gas burner. Look, my friend looked at a hybrid and the sister vehicle. The hybrid is $10000.00 more. It really does not do any better than the gas burner. So why pay the additional monies? There is no incentive. If the automakers gave a crap, the two vehicles would be priced the same. So, SAVE THE PLANET! IT IS UP TO YOU...and this vehicle will help you do it for only $10000.00 more. Again, no incentive to buy it and the tax breaks are nice but do not offset the out of pocket costs.

2. I never said I was against tax breaks for these vehicles. Hell, I get tax breaks for installing efficient appliances and heating systems. However, I do not pay additional monies because the appliances will be GREENER. The appliances are efficient from the word go and price in the same ball park as other appliance makers. The tax breaks are not that great anyway and are about last on the list of incentives to make the purchase.

3. Hybrid are one part of alternative fuel saving. Electric....suck. The GM Volt coming out...looser from the word go. Natural gas...might have something here. Using corn...not quite as clean as we are led to believe. Let's face it, better fuel efficient vehicles such as the Prius are the way to go. Unfortunate, the world of the large SUV/van are not going away. People need the larger vehicles for large familes. I had to laugh when Congress went after Ford over their F150 pick up truck. What, Joe the construction guy is to carry his tools and materials on his back?

Also, look for arguments against the global warming theory:
