Summary

While hydrogen fuel-cell cars won't be ready for decades, the technology exists today for plug-in hybrids that can get over 100 mpg! This new kind of car can save drivers money, reduce pollution, and increase US security by reducing dependence on imported oil. What's more, there is major pent-up demand for such vehicles. So why aren't they freely available today?
