We should be asking why we cant buy cars that run on natural gas or propane or bioethanol. We should be asking why it is that EPA emissions regulations have been conveniently rigged to make it all but impossible for us to buy vehicles that use anything other than gasoline or diesel sourced from fossil fuels...much of which we must import from nations that are overtly hostile to us. Why am I as a fuel consumer being forced to purchase my fuel from a nation...such as Saudi Arabia...where women are required to wear bhurkas, denied the opportunity to vote or work or drive, and are regarded as little more than cattle?</p></blockquote><p></p>
