Maybe--But Not Sure What to Organize

What excites you about this campaign?

Finally someone is stepping up with a sensible plan. There isn't anything more important to our country right now than to rid ourselves of not only a dependence on foreign oil, but oil period.

What do you want to do to help?

Those hybrid EV-1's were getting anywhere from 80 to 100 mpg in tests! The hybrids were using gasoline, fuel cells, and high pressure LP for fuel as well as electricity. I say that to say this: we've got the vehicle technology right now to decrease and possibly eliminate our dependence on oil for vehicle use. GM is no friend to any of this. If they were, the would have been producing these vehicles all along for the sake of just doing the right thing.

Also, back in the early 90's (to go along with you corola story) I bought a new Geo Metro. That car consistently got 50 mpg. I drove it 1,000 a week for about two years on a long commute to finish my college, and I could do that one thousand miles on a $20 bill! It wasn't a hybrid either!
