Thank you.

I liked the part about Smartville's efficiency.

yeah, pretty good ! 2 comments:

  • I would like to have seen Dave's interview in a passion rather than a closed roof cabrio. The camera angle would have given a perfect sky view over his head.
  • Also, what makes that CR guy the expert? The smart is a risk, he says. Well, these days, what isn't? (remember when Americans had a reputation for taking risks? AND it was a good thing?)

I guess I'm still waiting for someone to say plainly that the smart is a real car.

I liked the report and agree with most comments here except that I think that we need all kinds of cars and trucks small and large. They need to become more efficient and more of them have to run on things other than oil. We have to diversify our transportation energy sources more towards electricity and natural gas leading towards hydrogen, fuel cell, and other technologies.
