Re: Hybrid vehicles isn't the answer....
0.79 units of energy as gasoline for every unit consumed, but gasoline production generates a number of other products which are also used as fuel or lubricating products (diesel, etc.). I wonder what the total energy units over all of that is. Not that I'm not all in favor of ethanol/fuel cell/battery powered cars, rather than gasoline powered.
It's just that right now I feel like those consumers faced with a choice between 8-track or cassettes, beta or vhs, or laser disks or dvds, just to name a few emerging technologies. Hate to pick the wrong one; it would be an expensive mistake.
