People just like to get on the bandwagon. When your weak Prius is in the ditch during a winder storm, whos going to pull you out?? And Im pulling a 6500lb trailer, is a Prius going to pull that also?? If you want to be green, stop driving. A 100mpg car is still using gas. And so does a Prius. I saw one at the gas station the other day next to me as I was filling up my 6.0L engine!!!! What the heck, theres lots of vehicles out there that get way worse gas mileage than the Hummer.

As I promised earlier, we are beginning a series of chats on GMnext.com and our first topic will cover the balance between how a company communicates its environmentally-focused actions and how it follows through on those actions. To kick-off the series GM executive Brent Dewar will be on hand to discuss GM’s environmental policies and programs and answer your questions on Wednesday, February 6 from noon to 1 p.m. EST. To access the chat, go to the Live Chat section of GMnext.com and register with your e-mail address. On the day of the chat, click the “Enter Chat” button and join the conversation. Also, feel free to check out the video where Brent explains Brent explains his passion for the environment and the work he does for GM. We’ll follow-up shortly with a schedule of additional chat participants that will include both GM and third-party experts to cover the topics being raised on GMnext.com including ethanol, hybrids, green jobs, the Chevy Volt and more. We hope you can join us.

We have until 2012 to get things right. But people and government do not really beleive this or they would take this seriously and all Americans and other countries would scramble to stop the destuction of our planet earth. Many of those who have money to burn think they will just buy their way though this disaster facing our world, but they are blinded by the gold in thier pockets. those who can't afford to go green and want to have to just sit and make do with whatever they can afford. Politicians are blinded by power and greed; the few exceptions eventually give up in dispair of not being able to do what they really want to do to help this country and the world. We have a President who has shown by his deeds that he cares little to nothing about the earth's environment. His head is stuck in the sand. theres no reversal of Global Warming.we only have from now ’til 2012 I just came across this site today and after reading all the blogs I must agree with the last one.

What we will need more than ever is massive electric car conversions [from gas to electric] CEV's, for older cars & trucks. The US Gov't will have to give out grants to low to middle income people so they can have their older cars & small trucks converted. Will also need to convert all big trucks to bio-diesel or electric. Also the nations rail freight system & all tractor-trailer & hasmats will have to convert to trolley electric powered by wind, solar, & micro-hydro, or bio-diesel.The rail passenger lines & Amtrak will have to do the same.All oceanliners & ocean & lake freight will have to run on bio-diesel or electric. All passenger & freight airlines will be either bio-jet fuel or electric prop.All home or office heating oil will become bio-fuel. And no more coal-fired furnaces & power plants,as well as nuke plants, to be replaced by wind,solar, & micro-hydro. Is this what Al Gore said? NO---but I believe he said we have until 2012. After that, theres no reversal of Global Warming. To RAN Staff, Well, we only have from now ’til 2012.
