Had Al Gore not been cheated.....

The Big 3 auto makers were close to producing some slick hybrid vehicles (the goal was 80 mpg). This video shows Dodge's effort with their hybrid versions of the Intrepid--the last of which only cost $7,500 more than the base model. I'm sure some incentives would've been offered.

BUT OF COURSE....."W" was installed as "President" and cancelled the PNGV program that spurred companies to produce energy-efficient vehicles (started by Clinton). The Repukes are always in the pocket of Big Oil and are anti-environment.

3. And Didn't GM Build an Electric Vehicle

That owners LOVED?? But it was not made available for sale - only for lease. And then GM recalled all of the vehicles even though the people driving them wanted to keep them?

Is my memory faulty on this?

Oil companies suck.

4. And don't forget that in 1981 when Reagan came in he took down the solar panels (hot water heater)..

... from the White House. Think where we would be now as per green energy production and technology if
we had stayed the course and how many millions of tons of CO2 would not have been put into our atmosphere.

Not to mention Hillary would have left the people, the protocols, and gear in place and the virus would have been
stopped in China.

12. Too true.

5. W's Coup delayed the 21st Century at least 20 years. (IMO)

[Delarage]

8. I agree

Any time Democrats are on the brink of really solidifying gains for working people (health care, the environment) something HIGHLY UNUSUAL happens during an election and popular-vote losers get in and pillage the planet and thousands of people die.

13. Gore would have been a good president
