“The automakers are sticking to their traditional ‘can’t do’ philosophy” says the last paragraph in this article. They are crying about added production costs of making a “green vehicle” , even as the sky is falling. Funny how it is similiar to PM Harper’s “Can’t Do” stance on Kyoto [even though Kyoto is just a basic starting point to combatting global warming]. / Perhaps that “can’t do” tactic is taught at the climate change deniers schools that all the corporate humps go to. / About the actual design of this vehicle, I am not convinced that ethanol from crops is a good way to go. Anything is better than fossil fuels, but bio-fuels have some unresolved issues and are not getting away from the ‘centralised corporate model’ that these scientists seem to be married to. I favour the type of green vehicles that we can power from our own solar panels… and I hope some scientists are working on bringing that option to the marketplace quickly.
