I have been driving Hybrid cars for over 6 years and love it both for its good gas mileage as well as for environmental reasons. While pure electric cars might be technologically feasible, as long as we depend on fossil fuel to generate electricity, we are going to destroy environment and cause health problems. Government should invest in the future of technology-colleges and universities. When my son joined Ph.D program in physics-studying nano technology-many friends asked me whether he was preparing to study unemployment. Invest in studies, bring back basic sciences. It is sad to see basic science classes empty in Universities across the Globe.
