Plug-ins and experimental hybrids: Let's make Congress end foreign oil dependency
Enough pork-barrel legislationSo experimental hybrid vehicles can achieve 250 mpg, and a plug-in Prius offers significant gains in fuel efficiency compared to a standard Toyota Prius hybrid. All of these developments in hybrid cars prove that foreign oil dependency can be ended with today's technology.
So why do we give billions to an oil industry that profits billions per month to end foreign oil dependency? Nice job Congress!
We don't need to make million dollar fuel cell vehicles more cost effective and we don't need a brand new energy infrastructure. Instead of making a few oil barons, CEOs, and shareholders trillionaires, why not just make America stronger by giving automakers billions to utilize TODAY's technology to begin ending foreign oil dependency TODAY?
Since Congress only represents lobbyists, the 'People' must be the difference. Thus, Soultek.com and HybridCarBlog.com are launching HybridCarRevolution.com to focus on the politics of foreign oil dependency and the role of Congress in ending that dependency.
Terrorism is largely rooted in oil, and if the War on Terror doesn't include ending foreign oil dependency, then the War on Terror is simply an Iron Triangle money making scam.
Let's start a revolution! Aside from voter mobilization to pressure Congress, what can we do?

re "Let's make congress . . ."
why is the answer to everything "Let's make Congress do such & such?"
this is a capitalist country. the free market should be the place to go. Government has a role, to be sure, but the people should be the 1st place to go for changes.
"free markets"????
Is that why oil companies keep receiving tax incentives, because of free markets? Is that why farmers receive billions in aid, because of free markets? Is that why almost all tax incentives go to the very richest people and corporations, because of free markets?
Is there really such a thing as free markets?
Asking Congress to provide tax incentives to companies that help fight foreign oil dependency and pollution is EXACTLY what the role of Congress is, is it not?
Is not protecting the National Security interests of the Country one of the most important things Congress can do?
Providing tax incentives to "the people" is a much better use of my tax dollars than giving it to free market oil companies.
That's why the people are the "1st place to go for changes", such as changes in Congressional policy, Congresspeople, and where Congress spends its pork.
