Fun fact
From Can hybrids save US from foreign oil?:
Totally unrelated but also interesting is this tidbit from Factory egg production:
- Of course, a sudden switch [to hybrid cars] is virtually impossible, since there are roughly 235 million cars and light trucks on the road in the US today. Less than one-tenth of 1 percent of those - some 200,000 - are hybrids. So the speed of the conversion will determine how much imported oil the nation might save.
Totally unrelated but also interesting is this tidbit from Factory egg production:
- There are approximately 300 million egg laying hens in the U.S.

I had pet chickens as a boy. We ate the eggs and the chickens died of old age pecking around the chicken yard. Had a pet rooster too. Also died of old age. Not many chickens get to do that now.
I eat chicken now so I am contributing to what was described. Sad.

Hybrids are the 1/3 solution; they get rid of about 1/3 of fuel consumption. But technologically they are more like 60% of the way there.
The 70-80% solution is the gas-optional hybrid, or GO-HEV. The GO-HEV allows drivers to eliminate fuel use for the first 10-30 miles after a recharge; this can account for well over half of all driving. People are already building them out of Priuses; had Bush not killed the PNGV four years ago, people would be converting cars from Detroit too.
The 100% solution is the electric vehicle. The GO-HEV is an evolutionary path; as traction batteries get cheaper, cars will use bigger and bigger ones and need the sustainer engines less and less. Eventually makers will offer the sustainer engine as an option and buyers will stop selecting it.
