Are Hybrids Really The Future?

A high-placed executive who would appear to be positioned to benefit from the move toward Hybrid car technology has come out and slammed US policy on the subject. She feels we're not being realistic about the limitations and work needed on the technology.

As an aside, some are speculating that Hybrids and Electric cars are a stop gap measure as we move toward the real future - Hydrogen. In TFR headlines, I linked a NY Times item on the Hydrogen Car Tour. I hope to be at the DC tour stop tomorrow, take lots of pics and also have an interview lined up and believe I'll be getting a chance to drive one of the prototypes.

If all goes well, I'll have that report up at TFR on Friday morning.
