A recent report released by the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory found that fuel-efficient electric-gasoline cars (such as the Toyota Prius and Honda Civic) have made only negligible contributions to oil conservation efforts. Since 1999, hundreds of thousands of hybrid cars have been sold in the United States, but the Civic, for example, has saved only 5.5 million barrels of oil over the past eight years vs. the 8.5 million barrels of oil per day imported by the United States in 2003. In light of these statistics, would it be monetarily and environmentally worthwhile for General Motors, Ford, and/or other U.S. automakers to continue to develop hybrid vehicles? What about hybrid versions of SUVs, such as the Chevrolet Tahoe?

Good Luck!
