Bush plugs plug-in hybrids again
"We're working on battery technologies," President Bush said in Washington at a speech to the National Association of Manufacturers. "They say we're pretty close to a breakthrough in a battery where you can drive the first 40 miles on a battery, and your car doesn't look like a golf cart." (more)Sure, he might be an oil man, but when it comes to hybrid cars, President Bush deserves a few kudos. Bush has now been on the plug-in hybrid vehicle bandwagon for at least year and he has been lobbying Congress to extend the tax credits for buying hybrid cars. Hopefully, Congress will take a little action.

Don't forget he killed the hybrid program as well as many alternative programs when he first became Pres and choose hydrogen to focus on. Maybe he has learned that hydrogen isn't going to happen anytime soon.

Wow, hybrid knohow, are just a complete spammer or what? You've made the exact same post to numerous posts. Perhaps you should tell your optimizer, or the maker of the spam software that you use that their product is crappy.
Zendude-
I'm not trying to defend Bush in any way shape or form, but he has been a vocal advocate for plug-in hybrid cars. In fact, I'd say he's had more balls than many Democrats, such as Hillary Clinton. His "build relevant cars" message to Detroit has made a numer of enemies.
As for hydrogen, the 'hydrogen economy' has essentially stupified every administration since Nixon - except for maybe Carters.
Even Al Gore and Clinton accomplished very little during their administration, so I'll give Bush kudos for plugging hybrids.
