A "green Hummer" in paint color only
I’m torn between the evidence for global warming and the scale of our energy problem in the United States. On the one hand, global warming evidence is irrefutable and on the other, there’s been such a woeful lack of leadership for eight years that we’ve been putting our heads down on conservation and innovating around alternative energy sources.
Then in the last week or so, US carmakers have a sudden realization that $4 a gallon gasoline is changing buying habits and sales of their profitable, gas-guzzling behemoths grind to a halt. US automakers have suddenly awakened to this reality (amusing take on GM CEO Rick Wagoner’s position here) and that the price of gasoline and demand for fuel efficient cars are a permanent change.
Gee…do ya think?
