As oil approaches $61, GM hybrid hype begins
Hypocrisy - a feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not
What choice does GM have, but to start hyping its future hybrid cars?
Oil problems are already starting to garner America's attention, and it appears that things will get worse before they get better, especially with Iran's new conservative President already making threatening statements regarding foreign oil companies (more).
Get ready, $3.00 gasoline is coming, and the possibility of $4.00, or even $5.00, gasoline is no longer outlandish. (more)
Thus, the much hyped "two mode" hybrid powertrain of GM is making news. Unfortunately, its release is still almost two years away. Nonetheless, it didn't stop AutoWeek from hyping the GMC Graphyte Concept vehicle that could only be driven 35 mph during the AutoWeek test drive.
It's ironic that any Toyota hybrid that graces AutoWeek's homepage includes negative caveats, yet a GM hybrid headline provides only positive hype, even though the technology isn't a fully testable reality. (AutoWeek story)
AutoWeek and GM believe that cheap gasoline will forever be, but how cheap is gasoline when it causes the U.S. to stick its nose in Asian, African, and Middle East politics? If not for our gross foreign oil dependency would such a strong U.S. presence be required in the Middle East? Would we be at war? Would 911 have occurred?
The true cost of gasoline is much greater than what consumers pay at the pump. While GM and AutoWeek can claim that automobiles are about freedom of choice, true freedom doesn't come at the enslavement of others.
Cheap gasoline is a fiction created by American politicians and corporations, and it represents the greatest example of money laundering ever created. If the military costs of cheap oil enforcement were added to the pump price, Americans would immediately act much different.
See no evil, hear no evil, do no evil.
America has done many great things for the world, but its reliance on cheap, foreign oil has turned America into the greatest hypocrisy in the world.
While I wait longingly for a true GM hybrid vehicle, I cannot advocate a company that hypes the importance of buying American while increasing the necessity of foreign oil.
How can that be anything but ignorant, self-serving, greed-driven hypocrisy?
