[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 823289, member: 12508"] I'll use "Trickle Down Theory" so you can understand it in Reaganesque terms, OK? Someday, we're no longer going to have enough oil for our needs, so there is a pressing need to invent and create new and more efficient technologies. The Fisker is a niche car for the rich and famous. No doubt, Leo and Al can smugly drive around in an eco-car that most of us could never dream of affording. That's phony, and self-serving, but investing in new technology is smart, and then we won't have to deal with those pesky Muslims any more. They can keep their oil, and the price will go way down along with demand. But, improving hybrid and electric technology will eventually find it's way into Joe Average's car, much in the way that military technology and R&D has found it's way into the private sector and eventually to the wider consumer mass market. You can drive your 3-ton SUV forever if you can afford it, because I'm not advocating that the government choose your vehicle for you. Eventually, however, you might have to park your Hummer because you simply cannot afford to drive it on gas that is 6 or 7 dollars per gallon, a price that Europeans have been paying for awhile now. Guess why they favor small cars. [/QUOTE]
