Re: Electric Vehicles, in favor of? or disapprove?
Wow... that hybrid Yukon is one I would be interested in.
Another vehicle that I'm really interested in is the Ford Escape hybrid. In fact I've been pushing for my employer to buy a few hundred of them. Or at least buy my division a few dozen. Last month gas bill was $39,870

I believe the hybrids make more sense than the pure electric vehicles.
I have yet to hear what people would do about the demands to the power grid if electric vehicles became mainstream. All them batteries being charged up got to get their power from somewhere.
If they started building today (fat chance) it would be 10 years before a new nuclear power plant came on the grid.

Slightly off topic but interesting still is the Green Goat project A small company in BC is converting old diesel switch engines to hybrids. UP & BSNF both have orders for more of them.
