Oh, and you'd better check your facts because the average Camry hybrid won't come close to 43 mpg in ordinary driving. It's rated for 34, 35. You must be confused with a Prius that actually get's more than 43 mpg.

The 43 thing was keyboard dyslexia. I get it from time to tmie. And I was just razzing you about the Camry. It's a respectable vehicle, of course. Toyota makes very dependable vehicles, some of the most dependable on the road. Still, 34 mpg for a hybrid doesn't seem like much of a deal. The non-hybrid Civic gets that. And the Civic hybrid is rated at 45 mpg highway.

Of course I was also kidding, but the point I was trying to make is that you weren't offering an alternative. You mentioned Europe using nuclear energy, but that only translates to transportation if it's stored electricity, like an electric car.
