Americans losing Hybrid Race

Beyond Brilliance, Beyond Stupidity calls American carmakers "stupid" for being behind the 8-ball on hybrid vehicle technology:

Failure to start producing hybrids at similar levels to Japan will cost US Jobs. As many as 200,000 depending on the level of hybrid adoption. And with lower gas prices nowhere in sight, that higher number looks more than likely.

Sounds like there is some opportunity for someone to take a leadership stance in California.
