Yep, everybody wants it, yet not everybody can afford it. The latest hybrids that are on the market cost a tad bit more than the regular gasoline ones (if the price is lower, there might be incentives for manufacturers in that state which gives tax discounts to them for selling these hybrids thus lowering the price commensurately). The proliferation of green technology in the marketplace is not to be viewed as a move towards a totally green earth sometime soon. Most of them are still outrageously priced and it may be some more years before they become affordable enough for the regular JOE. The current economic crisis that is sweeping the globe is not helping either, high gas prices, low property prices, fluctuating money markets and crazy legislation all adds up to one ugly picture so green might have to take the back seat ahead of basic necessities (I wouldn’t buy a new hybrid and shell out a ton of money when my mortgage is on the rocks now would I?).
Laws on how people should live and how business should be conducted to become green is seen by most as a lot of hoopla for legislation is merely a law written on paper that we pay for with our taxes. One guy even expressed his disgust at how lawmakers are telling us to live our lives through laws and such measures when these vital environmental systems which are very much needed are out of reach by those who should be “GREEN”. Why not use the energy and effort used in making these laws into developing industry and the infrastructure that is needed to make the earth safer and greener instead. Congress and the senate spends thousands if not millions of dollars during sessions and hearings just to tell us people whom they should be serving how to live our lives and how much we should pay the government they represent whom we voted into power. Kind of hypocritical, the people we elect, telling us how to live our lives.
