Conservation's time is over. People talk about switching to high-MPG cars, and fixing hydrogen ain't free. These type of 'ideas' are mostly to stroke the egos of people who feel twinges of guilt about some article they read in USA Today. Our car manufacturers earn a hefty premium on each of these 'earth-friendly' cars.The time is ripe for more radical solutions that require our government to act swiftly instead of putting the onus on car companies to up their fleet MPG by .5 miles in 2007. Subaru's cars are now mostly all classified as 'light truck' or 'SUV' to avoid the fleet mileage requirement. Do we really trust for-profit organizations to lead us out of the valley of consumption?
