What happed to the big push to get alternative fuel vehicles out to the consumer at affordable prices? I remember there was a big push for electric cars and other alternative fuel vehicles then it seemed to have died down. Do you think the oil companies are "road blocking" them so they continue to make their hugh profits?

The economics don't work out yet, if they ever will. Plenty of people will say they do, but the alternative technologies all have huge issues. Meanwhile the US still wants to drive 12mpg SUVs so where's the market over here?
Europe is driving around in 50mpg diesels that pull like trains, why would they want to change their 600 mile range cars for a hydrogen or electic car that will go 150 or a hybrid that costs a fortune and gets no better economy.

That is certantly a possible theory. But who knows what is going on ? :S
