Screw the Middle East. Let it all fall apart for all I care, let the region drown in its oil.
If you do a search on alternative energy and cars (or LPG or CNG or Ethanol conversions) ... you'll pick up some interesting stuff.
The U.S. auto manufacturers have been slow to pick up on more fuel-efficient technologies - while there are a few electric vehicles out there they are only being sold in certain states like California. The Japs are further ahead. No surprises there.
We won't be seeing mass-produced hybrid cars until 2007.
Which is a damn shame, given GM's bad news this morning.
