Subject: Re: More BYD sold
increasing miles per gallon is a fast way to reduce emissions - just burn less gasoline. And hybrids can do that using far less lithium - as Jim points out - and without range and recharging stations concerns. So can high mileage ICC's for that matter, just less efficiently.

Good point. I frequently rent a small diesel in France, and I'm impressed at how nice they are and amazed how good the milage is. It is a shame they aren't available in the US, where we turned our back on diesel back when many diesel cars sucked, and missed out on the modern ones.
