American car companies doing nothing about energy crisis

Who is going to do more to quell America’s weakening position in the world? Does the federal government have a plan, or is there a company out there with a plan? Nope. Companies in other countries are more attuned to the problem, however, and are doing what they can to reduce their dependence on foreign oil sources. Toyota, for instance, plans on one-quarter of its vehicles being built with hybrid engines over the next four years. The company is making money selling hybrids and it wants to do something about the energy crisis. What are we doing here in the States? Nothing. In fact, automakers are giving each other high fives because they have convinced Congress to avoid establishing any kinds of regulations on American cars. Honda is also doing what it can to make cars more fuel efficient. Clark thinks GM, Ford and Chrysler need to wake up and come up with ways creative ways to keep our resources here in the States. We have no choice. We have to become more energy efficient if we want to stay alive in the marketplace.

This week's poll
The high cost of jet fuel has a lot of people staying at home this summer instead of traveling. Is there a "staycation" in your immediate future?
Yes, I just can't afford a plane ticket and/or hotel room right now.
No, I've saved up all year just to get away for a bit.
Maybe, I have to wait and see how my finances pan out.
