Toyota: One Million Hybrids a Year by 2010
Okay, Detroit. Whaddya gonna do about this?
Speaking at the European Car of the Year presentation ceremony held this week in Gothenburg, Toyota President Fujio Cho said that he believed Toyota will be producing over a million hybrid vehicles a year five years from now.You know, Detroit carmakers, a nice start would be for y'all to be to seriously pressure some Congresscritters into backing universal health care. (Ford's already acting on this.) Then you'd have more money to plow into R&D. If we can wean ourselves from the oil habit, maybe we won't have to send our sons and daughters and fathers and mothers to die whilst invading and occupying oil-rich countries -- and avoid the scary scenario Richard Clarke sketches out for us. (Spare me the lectures on "freedom", warbloggers. To quote Robert Fisk, "Iraq would never have been invaded if its principal export was beetroot.")
