R.
James Woolsey, a director of
the CIA during the Clinton
Administration, has been a
huge advocate for plug-in
hybrid vehicles, and he has a
featured article on the Wall
Street Journal, Gentleman,
Start your Plug-Ins.
"Subsidizing expensive
substitutes for petroleum,
ignoring the massive
infrastructure costs needed to
fuel family cars with
hydrogen, searching for a
single elegant solution--none
of this has worked, nor will
it. Instead we should
encourage a portfolio of
inexpensive fuels, including
electricity, that requires
very little infrastructure
change and let its components
work together: A 50 mpg
hybrid, once it becomes a
plug-in, will likely get
solidly over 100 mpg of
gasoline (call it "mpgg");
if it is also a flexible fuel
vehicle using 85% ethanol,
E-85, its mpgg rises to around
500, " states Woolsey.
So keep buying those hybrid cars, it invests in the future of hybrid technology. Also, make sure your representative in Congress understands that tax incentives for today's hybrid vehicles and tomorrow's plug-in hybrids is an investment in the future.
Join our campaign for increased tax credits for hybrid cars.
