Hyrbid Auto Technology & Fuel Prices
I have just read an article on the new Honda Hyrbid Civic. While the car itself is nice, Im not convinced that hybrid engineering is going to solve all our problems.
While the idea is excellent, in concept, and practice, if we all drove hybrid cars, requiring less fuel, what is to say the cost of fuel, could double (or more) to compensate for a slump in sales? Come on, we've all seen it in the IT industry. The bubble bursts, companies lose the plot trying to continue turning over a profit.
While these cars use less fuel, therefore logically producing slightly less emissions per mile travelled, is the environment, or the dollar more important to corporate America?
Answers on a postcard, to the usual address.
