So,
we know that America's current
electric grid could handle the
power demands of converting
conventional automobiles into plug-in
hybrid vehicles. We know
that such a move would reduce
pollution. We know that using
advanced carbon-fibers could
produce 50 percent lighter
vehicles that are stronger
than today's vehicles. We know
that adding plug-in hybrid
technology to such vehicles
would produce super strong,
super fuel efficient
automobiles capable of ending
foreign oil dependency and
drastically reducing all forms
of pollution.
The only thing we don't know is, are such vehicles profitable to automakers? While it is a sad commentary on society that health and security are bean-counted against profitability, that is today's reality.
Still, wouldn't funding an automotive revolution via advanced technology be a worthy investment for government via less military protection of oil, for automakers via retooling their entire operations in state of the art technology geared for the future, and for consumers via increased fuel savings and security?
Why not spawn the next great revolution in human history?
