Toyota seems to be rethinking their decision to remove the plug-in option on its Prius line of cars. Check out the PriusFuture.com site for more information and a virtual tour.

In World War II our nation's automakers made a massive shift from producing family cars to producing tanks and armoured vehicles in only 1 year. Why can't they move away from oil with the same level of zeal? The best thing we can do to fix the problem is make radical changes in our nations leadership that has formed an unhealthy co-dependent relationship with the automakers. Bush has given oil and auto industry leaders an incredible level of access to our Government. This relationship may turn out to be a tragic mistake that destroys their future viability. Bush's chief of staff for 6 years, Andrew Card, was previously the Vice President of Government Relations for General Motors while they were running a campaign to shoot down the California Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate. I would prefer to see an America company become the leader in this new technology, but they seem to be stalling and even subverting the process.
