Lieberman Jumps On Plug-In Bandwagon

It is becoming increasingly obvious there is a growing momentum behind the call for flexible fuel, plug-in hybrids, the most recent endorsement coming from U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman in an address at George Washington University last week.

"I want to talk with you today about a different storm is forming right now off our coasts and in our country. It is forming as we speak over the steaming sands of the Mideast, the frozen tundra of Siberia, the equatorial east coast of Africa, and rain forests of South America and drying up oil reserves in the U.S.

"That storm is our dependence on foreign oil", the Connecticut Senator said.

To face the storm, Lieberman has proposed legislation that would mandate the mass production of flexible fuel vehicles capable of using "homegrown" biofuels made not just from corn but also "from American sugar, prairie grass and agricultural waste".

Here's the really interesting part.

"My bill mandates that within three years of passage, 10 percent of all new vehicles sold in America manufactured shall be alternative fuel automobiles, flexible fuel vehicles or electricity plug-in vehicles. And that mandate will increase to at least 50 percent four years after that".
I don't know about you, but it appears that the handwriting is on the wall and it says, "Flexible Fuel Plug-In Hybrids" are the future.
