Exactly, Europe is advancing very rapidly with wind technology, America.....well, the East coast is just getting around to it. There's alot of work to be done.
Im the only person at work that recycles, I haveto dig through the cans here and take stuff home. I tried to get these guys to , but they are just as ignorant as the majority of peopel are to recycling, unlike taiwan where that **** is like clockwork there, and they are very efficient with their recycling.
I think another selling pouint of the prius is their price. I think they are what 22K for one new right now, as to where the volt will be 40K ( not even full electric) and the Tesla Roadster at 6 figure, the fisker, is I think 60K.....who really wants to pay that price for a vehicle with limited range, and if you do drain the battery, its not like you can go to a gas station and fill your car up with electricity.....so theres alot to work with, Toyota is in the right path, but I think Prius's get more credit then is due to them.
