Screw hybrids, we need to get back to 100% electric cars that recharge from an environmentally 'safe' source.
That's just not so realistic short term

I'm consitently stupid- Japher I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

Low income workers should take public transit, so should middle and high income workers as well.
Just because you may live where there is easy access to public transport, doesn't mean everyone does. My vehicle is a necessity. The closest bus system is 180 miles away. Riding a bike won't cut it either since I live several miles from where I work. There are a few people still living between the large cities.
Which side are we on? We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We are evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I'm surprised you didn't know that. --Saul Tigh

You're forgetting that we live in a world with completely unlimited potential tax revenue available to easily and quickly provide some type of public transportation to every single fifteen-square-mile space within 200 miles of every single metropolitan area, with schedules running at least twice an hour if not more. If only those damned greedy right-wingers would take their hand off that infinite money spigot!

The money is there, we just have to stop wasting it.
Wasteful spending isn't anything either side of the spectrum seems poised to solve. The best I can hope for is that we don't add to it, which means be skeptical of some herculean project that would make the cost of Ike's interstate highway system look like chump change. We'd be better off just increasing myriad incentives for the market to adapt to renewable fuels.
Those people had a choice of places to live to some extent. They also had a choice when they bought cars to some extent. The fuel economy of most american cars is pitiful.
So now I'm supposed to feel sorry for these people? Seems like they've made their beds and should now lie in them.
Good point. Let's extend that shall we? I think Quebec should stop receiving transfer payments from the wealthier Cdn provinces year after year after year. If the Quebec economy sucks move to where there are jobs and prospects and quit relying on federal handouts. Otherwise, suck it up and lie in the beds you've made.

What is this "choice...to some extent" crap anyway? You either have a choice or you don't. I don't see how it's so easy for someone with minimal time and zero money to just pack up, move to a more dense area, and hope they find a new job before their kids get hungry. There's no shortage of people who are quite literally locked down to wherever they happened to be born.

Why ? I don't see any reason to be sarcastic about that.
