Re: theWatt Podcast 77

I'm not saying I didn't buy you argument. I think SUVs exist, in part, because of CAFE. But look at when CAFE was enacted and when SUVs became popular. There is a fairly significant gap. Without CAFE, we might not even have so many SUVs, that is clear.

Advertising is not magic. But if they can get as big a profit off the volt as from SUVs (unlikely anytime soon) one would expect them to do that. As profit-maximizers, one would instead expect them to push the cars that make the most money. At the same time, green sells and the frigging Tahoe Hybrid is somehow named the green car of the year despite the fact that they hardly manufacture any of them.
