the green movement

I've been saying this for more than a year now, its inevitable and its the future and we will going green if we want to or not. I hate it when these things become fads though. When I was at the LA Auto Show every single company has a hybrid. I think hybrids are sweet as hell. But really, I thought about the financial aspect of it all and I came to this realization, unless you have the extra money to spend on a hybrid just to drive a luxury vehicle then you're really not doing much to help the environment. To explain it quickly, you're spending roughly $4K-$12K more for a car that gets not that much better mileage. Like a Chevy Tahoe currently gets 11-13 mpg, and a hybrid gets 17. So what, big deal. I don't think its worth it. If you want to get a hybrid, the only ones that make environmental sense and economical sense is one of the following; Accord, Civic, Camry, Corolla, and Prius. For SUVs I would say Ford Escape. So my dream of a Lexux hybrid is pretty much on hold until they make some major improvements.

Anyways, how I got onto cars I'm not sure. But I still want to open a consulting company focusing strictly on Green startups and existing greenies. And now that I've got a methodology behind what I'm doing maybe I can actually get into this thing before it passes me by... Where does the time go?
