Want to see us weaned off gas-powered cars? Here's the economic incentive

::::::::

One of the biggest obstacles to producing Zero Emission Vehicles isn't technical, but economic.  Here's my plan to get ZEVs like Compressed Air/Flywheel/Fuel Cell/Electric or any hybrid of these etc. into wide acceptance:

The Mileage Triple-Credit Plan (I need to work on the name a little)
This would give auto makers credit for triple the average MPG for their fleet for every Zero Emission Vehicle they produce, and the consumer triple the rebate for a high MPG car for every ZEV they buy. 

This plan would allow automakers to meet or exceed stricter CAFE standards, while promoting efficient green cars for consumers to buy.

 

Take action -- click here to contact your local newspaper or congress people:
