No kidding. They might has well have given them a pat on the back. When is the State Department budget going to contribute to this stuff. I want to see $15 billion, with a "b" given to this kind of research.
Perhaps you shouldn't drive. The government doesn't need to do anything. It's a free market and the operation of oversized vehicles will be priced out of reach for most consumers. You want to drive a Pious? That's fine. That is your freedom of choice. I prefer mid sized vehicles with more powerful engines. If some clown can afford to drive the F350 more power to him. I'll be watching him so I don't get run over.
Wow, this is so futile, even Australia a country with an economy an eigth of or even less than the US has pledged more. Not only are they giving Holden (US may know as pontiac me finks) 500 million to go Hybrid but they gave Toyota 35 million just to BUILD hybrids in Australia.
You only have to go as far as the 90's and the doco 'who killed the electric car' to know that the US has no interest in the environment or petrol prices.
1 trillion on Iraq and shit all on ANYTHING else. I would absolutely HATE! to live in a country so corrupt and unjust.

The Govt needs to outlaw a certain SIZE/MPG vehicle.
that way I'll feel safer knowing I won't/shouldn't get T-boned from a F-350 supercab in my Prius.

Hey droopy pants, tell us all about these incentives to big oil. Do we give them lots of money to develop cars that use more fuel?? Dummy.
how about some pointless war values?? maybe 100-150 billion dollars a year?? that might do it
Low ranked? You communists!
