"The age of oil must end in our time." -- Barak Obama

Although it amazes me that car manufacturers need such short-term incentives to develop fuel-friendly cars, Obama has a sensible plan to encourage domestic automakers to make fuel-efficient hybrid vehicles by giving them health care assistance for retirees. His plan also would require automakers to invest half of their health care savings into technology to produce those vehicles. I like it.
