Media likes to stir things up. I don't believe a lot of what they say. Its not that easy or it would be happening. I think it will some day and I wish I could have a part in it if I could afford it. Its sort of supply and demand. Wind farms can exist where I live if every one would pay an estimated 10 our present costs untill the production got cheaper. No one is willing to do that therefore the cost wont come down. Its sort of building 10 bicycles that are special. They will be very expensive untill someone mass produces them.

Back to the 250 mpg car It will happen. But at a price $$$$
