Hooray for Fiat, Toyota, and other other flex-fuel or other alternative fuel vehicle makers!
Your post cheered me as a hopeful sign of the fast-approaching new energy world.
But it saddened me, as well. America used to be the innovator of the world, the source of new ideas and inventions. Where are the Thomas Edisons of the 21st Century? Only in Europe and Japan?
We seem to be playing catch-up on too many new frontiers.
I'm number 74 on the waiting list for the new Chevy Volt, a promising new spin on electic and hybrid engines. And I'm excited about the prospect of this new driving adventure, but I also know that we need to be doing more.
We need to be exploring hybrids, and flex-fuel Fiats, and Chevy Volts and other options, now. While they are still options.
And while we still have options.
So,Governor Pitbull is not ready to face the media, yet we're supposed to believe she's ready to be vice-president? And next in line to 72-year old would-be President McGrumpy?
I don't think so!
I don't know about the end of the world.
But as the "Religious Right" is running the Republican Party, and McCain campaign, if those two win, we can certainly kiss the Constitution and the good old USA goodbye.
