I find it rather amazing that FORD makes 2 of the most obnoxius gas guzzing vehicles (Expoler & Expediton for the U.S. market,
but makes fuel effeicnt cars for the Euopeon market.
If they can do it for Europeon market, they should be able to do it for the U.S. market.
Since Americans seem not to be able to sacrifice for the common good, we need to heavily tax gas guzzlers and use the money to
explore alternatives fuels and public transporttion.
Japan had the bullet train in 1969-France first got the TGv tains in 1984. The U.S. led the world in train transportation in 1800s, but tore up many tracks in the 1970s. Teh U.S. lags behind even thirdd wrkd countries in public transportation. We have no high speed rails? Something is very wrong.
