Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) Not A Dream Anymore

A few years ago, General Motors started making the electric vehicle. It was called the (EV1). The reader may know well what I am talking about. They did not sale the cars in the beginning. GM wanted to test them first by leasing the vehicles out. The car was a beauty. Then all of a sudden without giving any explanation to the public, General Motors terminated the leases and went ahead and destroyed the EVE1s. I never knew why they did such a thing, but they did it. The reason could have been "jobs", or the oil companies had something to do in stopping the EV1 from circulation. The fact is that I am a gasoline junkie so far.

Now General Motors will manufacture Hybrid plug in cars. Oh yes... that is like music to my ears. Since driving a PHEV is like navigating in two cars at the same time. One auto powered by fuel and one powered by electricity to be plugged for re-charge in your garage every night. Isn't it great?

But... it may happen that the oil companies will intervene again. You know, it is not nice to loose a profitable business just like that. It is so profitable indeed. Mobil alone reported something like 29 and a half billion Dollars profit in 2006, the equivalent to about 4 million Dollars earnings per hour. And there are trillions of Dollars yet to be made from here to the end of the oil reserves. But I say; the exploitation of fossil fuel has to stop now or there will be no clean air left for our great grand children to breath.

Now, my gut feelings tell me that hybrid-plug in automobiles will sell like hotcakes. If these features don't catch your attention what will?
* You will pay at the pump less than $1.00/gallon. If you do the math on the mpg, you shall come up with about 78 cents a gallon.
* Your vehicle could become 100% clean if you use American made ethanol (already been sold in Central America and the US.) instead of gas.
* You are contributing to reduce America's dependence on foreign oil. This fact alone will make you a proud individual.
* And that is not all... most people will spend 0 gallons of gas per week by recharging the batteries overnight. Most of us work 30 miles or less from home; and because one charge will take you to a distance of 60 miles average, your weekly traveling will cost you almost nothing in cash.
* What about safety? You may ask. Relax, you may continue driving the same size of vehicle you are used to, hybrid plug in will be built in all sizes. Car manufacturers can make SUVs, vans, buses and more.
* What's more, the vehicle could be as fast as any gas propelled automobile. Let's remember that the fastest trains in existence today are powered by electricity.
