Hybridization of Automobiles

ø

For the first time in my life I saw two Honda Hybrid cars at the stop light this afternoon.  I am excited to see that people are being to see the ‘light’ regarding the imporance of reducing greenhouse gas emssions. 

Both hybrid technology (essentially combining the performance and convenience of gas with the efficiency of electricity) and fuel cell technology (electricity generated by a hydrogen-oxygen chemical reaction with only waper vapor and heat as the by-product) need more understanding and awareness by both the market and consumers in general.  There are some great federal tax deductions for those consumers purchasing hybrid automobiles.
