On Science Friday today they had a pretty intensive discussion on hybrids, with folks from GM, Road and Track, and Sherry Boschert, the founder of the San Francisco Electric Vehicle Association. According to Ms. Boschert, it pretty doesn’t matter what the energy source for the electricity of a plug-in hybrid/electric car is, it’s still cleaner than a car which runs on straight gas/diesel.
They also had a brief interview with the X-Prize folks, who’ve started a 100 MPG car X-Prize.
Not surprisingly, many of the folks were a bit at odds with one another. They were particularly savage about some of the comments that the GM exec made.
