One SUV is going to save the world?

No wonder nobody takes you seriously.

Are you the same Fred Dehl who suggested that ANWR, a tiny incremental
step, would be better than nothing?

Where is the whine about reducing our reliance on foreign oil. Anyone that
states that we need to reduce our need for foreign oil and states that we
can't crack open ANWR, start drilling of the Calif. coast and sink more
wells in the Gulf of Mexico is an idiot.

What is your goal? To reduce consumption or the import of foreign oil?

Reducing consumption will impact ALL oil useage, whether domestic or
foreign.



And yes, one new vehicle could make a difference. Ford & GM didn't take
the idea of mini-vans seriously until Chrysler started selling them like
hotcakes. One highly efficient SUV that's successful will lead the
competition into the same market. Behind all of them will be advertising
which tells customers what they want.

The utility of the mini-van replaced the station wagon rather than
becoming a whole new class of vehicle it just got a little bigger with an
extra seat or two.

True, but not relevant the the paragraph which preceded it.
