Yahoo is giving away a bunch of Hybrid taxis (Prius) to the Greenest City

This is definitely the "carrot" approach, helped along by business. In the future, I think the cities that work more and more toward energy efficiency will the the true winners.

It's too bad they can't give away green cars:

Buy American. Boycott the Prius and Save the Planet.

The Prius seems to make a decent taxi. There have been some high miles run up on them and the cabbies report lower than average repair bills.

Seems like a better approach might be to go to the EPA records and give the city with the worst air a fleet of hybrids.

LA, CA or Houston, TX could probably benefit more than Hippieswithcomputers, VT.

Just sayin',

No offence to those who live in Hippieswithcomputers, VT. I'm sure they are wonderful people.

I thought those GreenMtn folk had hookahs not hookups.
