Rush, as do many others, does not decry an individual for opting for a hybrid even though he wouldn’t buy one. He, and many others, do decry the government sticking it’s nose in the automobile industry. This is his point. Let the free market decide if hybrids are manufactured or not.

Rush says he wouldn’t buy one - has he ever driven one? It’s been a few years since I listened to Rush regularly - I prefer to listen to Dennis Prager who broadcasts at the same time.

Good opportunity for Rush to get his point across!

yes, but the free market has not been so free in regards to vehicle energy and thus the options that we end up having for our cars....mainly one! That’s not a free market and has been minipulated this way both by government which gets huge tax revenue from gasoline sales and the auto and oil companies with the internal combustion engine always breaking down and needing alot of parts and alot of gas. THe electric car is by far the better and much cheaper way to go and we have quick charging station doable for 15 minute charges for another 100 miles of driving. The problem has been that the dealership make alot of their profits on maintenance and those will be largely gone with the electric cars and hybrid plug ins. So the auto industry is paying a huge price now in large for holding back the very best product from the consumer. It serves them right and now things are finally changing. Rush is just wrong on this one just like he is wrong on promoting a filthy and actually dangerous habit of cigar smoking. Bless his heart, but sometimes he just is wrong and a bit hyper too!
