Had Al Gore not been cheated.....
The Big 3 auto makers were close to producing some slick hybrid vehicles (the goal was 80 mpg). This video shows Dodge's effort with their hybrid versions of the Intrepid--the last of which only cost $7,500 more than the base model. I'm sure some incentives would've been offered.
BUT OF COURSE....."W" was installed as "President" and cancelled the PNGV program that spurred companies to produce energy-efficient vehicles (started by Clinton). The Repukes are always in the pocket of Big Oil and are anti-environment. [link:|

Any time Democrats are on the brink of really solidifying gains for working people (health care, the environment) something HIGHLY UNUSUAL happens during an election and popular-vote losers get in and pillage the planet and thousands of people die.
