[Quietcars] Department of Energy Finalizes $50MillionLoanforVehicle Production Group

Sun Mar 13 21:32:33 UTC 2011

To Mr. Andrews's point, thinking out of the box here we'll find solutions to
the energy problems in this country, and if hybrids are the way out, or LNG,
fine business.  We're heading towards a more silent vehicle, anyway, and
isn't that the purpose of the colloraboration of the ACB and NFB efforts,
anyway; to work collectively for a solution that wil benefit both org's
goals and find solutions to cane travelers' and dog handlers' alike,.  The
CNG or LNG solution is but one of these, and, this, along with the all
electric and hybrid nmodels will be the way of the future.  Internal
combustion engines aren't going away any time soon, because there is nothing
to replace the internal combustion engine that is satisfactory.  And, for
presidents to come, we're going to have to depend upon foreign oil and a
world class technology to work hand in hand to dcevelop solutions that we
can all agree upon.  This is why the hybrid, electric and possible
introduction of LNG or CNG vehicles aren't going to be but a stopgap measure
to energy independence.
