Yep, Hybrids are more expensive to buy and operate, for now.
Fabs I agree with you on the short-term, but we need it now and even needed it 10 years ago. Unfortunately we won't see those fruits for sometime so construction/development should start immediately. I combine my trips in one run whenever possible and if it gets too bad, I may limit (shudder) my hunting trips to the skinny fields this Summer because of it. Hey, rising gas prices are another form of groundhog game management...
