It seems like these vehicles would solve a lot of the problems of pollution, gasoline consumption, arab oil dangers, etc. But when I read this thread and This thread, I start to wonder: Are they simply slowing the production and perfection of these type of vehicles until they can create new taxes that driving them would demand? A Hydrogen tax? A low-emmission tax? An Arab- Recompensation tax?!
OK, tin foil off....
I agree. I hate being beholden to these overseas oil countries that are, at best, indifferent to us. I wish we would have more fuel efficient cars and houses and then learn to live off our own domestic energy resources. When I see a 90 pound person driving to work all by him or herself in an SUV the size of a Sherman tank, I just think there's room for some energy conservation and energy independence to be had. Houses could be made more efficient, too, and I'd be willing to do it if it made the US more energy independent.
