Why I will buy a hybrid...Honda anti-terrorism commercial
Why I will buy a hybrid...Honda anti-terrorism commercial
Not sure if this commercial is real, but it is why I take the global warming agenda seriously. America and the West must break our dependency on foreign oil. Green technology, public transportation, tough auto standards and a cap and trade system are the way to go. A carbon tax or arbitrarily meeting Kyoto targets when the big players won't participate is not the correct way to go. McCain is right when he says that even if global warming is not real, some of the solutions make sense in terms of addressing the war on terror, gas prices and other challenges to the North American economy. Again I do not know if this is a real Honda ad or if someone created this and posted it on YouTube, but I do think it is affective and worth posting. On a side note, while GM and other North American automakers are hurting; Honda and Toyota seem to be doing well. They also lead in fuel efficiency and hybrid technology coincidence?

I thought last week you were buying the not-really-zero-emission zero-emission car?
That would be my preferred choice. My current car won't last much longer so I am in the market for something my friend.
My point is why make fun of the technology. As conservatives we should be encouraging innovation, green technology, entrepreneurship and market based solutions to solve both climate change and the situation in the Middle East.
You're quite correct in your comments about reducing our dependence on oil. We waste far too much of it.
However, a cap and trade system is a ruinous proposal. The British are part of the EU cap and trade system and their figures show that it costs the British government $3,000 per year per person. This is not $3,000 per year per household, or $3,000 per year per adult. It is $3,000 per year for everyone in the island. For a family with 2 children that's $12,000 per year.
Once the price increases, resulting from market forces, work their way through the system the average Canadian family will probably have to fork over an extra $2,000-$3,000
a year. Canadians won't stand still for the exra $1,000 or so per year that the Nutty Professor's plan will initially add to that bill, let alone a jab in the wallet for the cost of a cap and trade system.
The Democrats have consistently opposed any solutions to the dependency on foreign oil, and Oboma toes the party line. I guess you'll have to start supporting McCain
