Media likes to stir things up. I don't believe a lot of what they say. Its not that easy or it would be happening. I think it will some day and I wish I could have a part in it if I could afford it. Its sort of supply and demand. Wind farms can exist where I live if every one would pay an estimated 10 our present costs untill the production got cheaper. No one is willing to do that therefore the cost wont come down. Its sort of building 10 bicycles that are special. They will be very expensive untill someone mass produces them. To mass produce them they have to have the clients there. Its a merry go round. I work on the Great Lakes with carbon black and ashphault and see the industry side of cities. WOW. Scary. Like a world of gigantic machines. Then I go down into the engine room where the two 16 cylinder Electromotive Division Diesels slug back 14,ooo liters of fuel a day. The stacks just keep breathing fumes. I am part of The Machine in my line of work caretaking them fuel hungery monsters and I think I can justify it if I can participate in the development of a more sane way of transport. Whoops O.T. Back to the 250 mpg car It will happen. But at a price $$$$
