Point is it takes 12 or more years to change out (update) the majority of automobiles in the USA. So, it wont make that much difference.

Most effective thing is not to play that game and find a new way.
So it would take 12 years for all Americans to go from Gas Guzzling to fuel efficient cars. Unless they were pushed to by higher gas prices.

Good point.

I guess the oil companies bought that shit up and shut it down too? Wouldn't surprise me.

Electric cars have been around for over a hundred years and they still aren't used.

Hell, the entire taxi cab fleet of New York City were electric cars in 1897!!!

And somehow, Detroit auto makers can't figure out how to do it right in 2012. lol
Which is why they will not let the price drop. Good point.

Maybe when the US is flooded with foreign made alternative energy products someone might sit up and take notice.

I was told the film "Who Killed Roger Rabbit" was about how the oil companies bought the tram system and shut it down. True or not?
