Hooray for the UK!

I think they're on to something

We just need some motivation. We need to begin the process of switching over so that it can be gradual instead of drastic. Too bad we can't have a 'pretend' oil shortage, and light the fire. My next vehicle, if at all possible, will be either hybrid or electric.

i can't wait until ultracapacitors become better developed. just because they would allow for that under 5 minutes recharge. most normal electric vehicles just have standard rechargeable batteries which take a good 3 hours to recharge. thats really the only thing that i don't like about full electric vehicles. i'd definitely have to go with a hybrid right now.

i really want aftermarket stuff for the hybrid cars, though. i'd love it if they sold more dense battery packs for extra power or stronger electric motors for a bit more torque. apparently there are a few tweaks you can do on the Toyota Prius to get it's fuel economy well over 100 mpg.
