Smile alternate fuel sources for automobiles

I do online surveys now and then to earn a buck or two and I was really pleased to do a number of different ones lately about alternate types of cars and fuel for cars. It is a start at least. It would be nice to get our thinking in that direction for cleaner burning, renewable fuel sources. It only takes a seed to be planted to make those alternatives grow and become more viable AND visable to the general public. Right now it is in it's infancy, but at least it is there and if large companies are doing surveys about this, they are beginning to change their thinking some. I think that is a step in the right direction.

I'm a bit skeptical about the surveys. What if they don't really do random surveys and they're hoping that you answer a certain way? Or they think that there isn't enough of a concern out there. I just find that those types of statistics can be skewed to suit your needs. But I hope I'm wrong and those surveys will be put to good use...like building those cars in mass!

Well i think just the fact that the big companies are focusing some attention in that direction is a good thing. Unless of course they are looking for ways to sabotage or buy up all the new technology, which in the case of the oil companies I wouldnt put that past them.

sad but true..

but i agree that there is a little more of a 'buzz' around hybrids then there use to be... just ashame that they did away with the EV-1 back in 97.. we could all be driving one by now!
