I am not opposed hybrids, but the environmentalist lobby does not like them. They are also a lot more complicated and expensive due to the duplication of powertrain functions for the two modes of operation. I do believe that to have any possibility of making these new economy standards, automakers’ fleets will have to be all hybrids and pure electric.
We’re not going to be able to stop the environmentalist lobby. The best we can do is to vote for Trump. That’ll buy us four years, then what? Even buying a hybrid is going to be more expensive. But that is what the American people voted for. We are serious about saving Earth.
