    • Why not Plug-in Instead of Fill-Up? Companies jump on the Alternative Energy / Hybrid Bandwagon

    Why not Plug-in Instead of Fill-Up? Companies jump on the Alternative Energy / Hybrid Bandwagon

    It looks like the world has turned again and history repeats itself yet again…

    I didn’t want to post anything tonight, but watching American Idol, I decided, why not, idiots are performing in front of an audience, whats another weirdo on the blog scene posting a stupid electric car post….

    And in case you haven’t noticed, based on my live shoutbox comments from readers, the constant skeptic is rather feminine, nerdy, and likes non-mainstream music. Also, the constant skeptic has some informative articles. My mother probably wrote the last one. Kudos mom! At least someone loves me for something other than just my MP3 songs.

    Back in the 1970s (gosh, before I was born!) much interest was pushed towards alternative fuel vehicles. Then it all died out with renewed relationships and oil deals with the middle east that continued throughout the 1980’s up until the present day with the deteriorating situation that is getting worse every day.

    While gas relations are a complicated subject to discuss at any length without some expertise on the subject, profiteering is another story altogether….

    Automobile manufactures are all leaning green these days…. and Ford is even mulling over an electric vehicle that you simply plug in to recharge.

    But have we all forgotten that back in the 1990’s electric cars were all the rage on the designers draft boards?

    What killed the electric car back in the 90s? Check out this video, but remain skeptical about who is actually pulling the strings. When dealing with millions of dollars, something or someone always gets corrupted and the average consumer usually pays the price.

    PS/RANDOM ENDNOTE - if your looking for an alternative to Starbucks, buy Caribou Coffee instead… and no I am not getting paid for that plug, I happen to love their coffee.
