A link

I want to throw this up and I will comment on it after while.


http://money.cnn.com/2008/04/29/autos/gas_engine_improvements/index.htm

I put this up a week or so ago, because what I found most interesting was the "Experts" cited in the article. All of them are from the American automobile manufacturers. No independent experts, no Japanese experts, no German experts. All of these "experts" come from companies who have been hemorrhaging money for some time now, and whose primary products are singularly unsuited to a world of high gas prices. Of course they are going to reach the conclusions they reach in the article, that the gasoline engine is here to stay. If you are GM and you don't have 10 years experience building hybrids like Toyota, you are going to see hybrid technology as expensive and complicated. The article was hilarious.
