they should put solar panels on top of big warehouses/walmarts/malls or really tall buildings and have those buildings generate their share of electricity for themselves and then feed power back into the grid.

hell of a post and i agree on everything everyone's said...right now the hybrid concept of cars just isn't cutting it...did i hear they release a hybrid escalade? or "flex fuel", i feel as though the amount of effort put in to developing an alternative type of fuel source for transportation has been just the amount needed to keep the tree hugging californian's (sorry if your from there) happy and that is all. Basically its the answer to the question "what are you doing to help the environment" **wearing a t shirt with a recycle sign on it** "oh i drive a hybrid"

no to mention they are going to raise taxes because people are driving less. Oh and taxing people that drive hybrids because they use less gas.
