So here is my question. Modern cars are powered by gasoline. A small percentage of cars are flex fuel, hybrids, ect., but the vast majority still run off of good old gas.
Now, we have proof that the world is running out of oil, and that america is overwhelmingly dependent on foreign sources of the crude oil that makes gasoline.
Why is it, then, that we are so stubborn to change? Why haven't auto giants such as GM, Ford, or Honda designed electric cars, or more flex fuel cars or more diesel cars, even? The sad thing is, they did. the GM EV1 electric car. The Ford Reflex Hybrid concept. the Honda Insight. Of those three, only the GM and the Honda ever saw production, and only the Honda still exists. the EV1, was taken back by GM and destroyed. the ford reflex never made it out of concept. the insight production was halted.
we know the oil, gas, and car giants have the resources to end america's dependency on oil and gas.
the question is, why dont they?
