    Picture this. You go to buy a car and decide to shell out the extra $$$ to get an efficient gas/electric hybrid so that you can do your part to sustain the environment. Next thing you know, it's two years later and everyone is driving hydrogen cell cars which are even more environmentally friendly. Now, everywhere you go you get dirty looks for being so irresponsible.

    I had such high hopes that the global warming from current vehicles would eventually make Northern Canada a decent place to live. Now all my dreams are shattered... Thanks a lot.
