I agree with Ban, something has to be done. I am enjoying my 40 miles or so per gallon, and am spending much less on gas, but the day of a fully electric would be nice.
Some may remember Neil Young. He has been in town a lot lately working on the development of a conversion of a 1959 Lincoln to hybrid electric that gets over 100 MPG. That shows how much we are being deceived in the technology of the hybrids, and how much more could be done with the fully electric, at least to large extent.
Here is a link but one could google Wichita Neil Young and see a lot of info beyond the article posted below.

With all due respect Furches, how do you know this version (disseminated by those who assumably are promoting electric cars) of the facts is the truth?
Do you know for a fact that there are no other facts in this case that might point to a different conclusion?
