[Quietcars] Facts about Hybrids.

[Deborah Kent Stein]

Though many blind people and others are deeply concerned about the problems 
posed by silently-operating vehicles, most of us appreciate the value of new 
"green" technologies.  We can all benefit from cleaner air and less 
dependence on fossil fuels.  We all need to do our share to reduce 
greenhouse gases.  Adding a reasonable degree of sound to quiet vehicles to 
help protect pedestrians and cyclists is entirely compatible with supporting 
the development and proliferation of vehicles using new technologies.
