BP has been running commercials about how they are investimg in alternative energy sources. Maybe PR maybe they actually give a rip.

Road taxes should have always been based on miles and tonnage. That's what tears up roads.


the last higher up oil exec I heard said.....
we are in the OIL business we are NOT in the alternative energy business......

Electric trains are seldom preferable over diesel-electric in the US because of the density & type of traffic.

That is the problem I have with most of the new tech cars. Our hybrid doesn't do much better than the gas version on the highway where the majority of our miles are driven. A low speed low range plug in is even less relevant. Diesel-electric optimized for 75, now we're talking.
