Three Weeks for Dreamwidth: Everything I Wanted to Know About the United States, & Was Afraid to Ask

Why are cars that use less fuel still not popular in the US? What might need to happen before they become popular?

(At least it seems like most people in the US are still driving big cars, while small cars are used all over Europe and Asia)

( First of all, disclaimers and explanations. )

( Not all fuels are created equal )

( Hybrid vs Non-Hybrid: why isn’t this a no-brainer? )

( Electric Cars! They are here, why aren’t they all people are buying? )

( Diesel Fuel! Why is it so unpopular? )

( Fine, fine, but can’t you at least get a reasonable gasoline powered car? What’s up with all the SUVs? )

( Fine. What about hydrogen, Miss Smarty-Pants? What bad can you say about that? Other than the fact that the technology is so expensive right now you can’t actually buy a Honda Clarity, and have to lease one and the only place you can get Hydrogen Fuel is in California? )

I’m sure I haven’t covered everything. I honestly didn’t realize how much there is to say on the topic, and I could probably go on for quite some time, adding, revising, tweaking… but I’m already at 3,500 words and have probably bored you to tears.
