Venezuela? Why is Venezuela on the list? Gas there is around .20 a gal. Oil companies have a market there. Granted it's like Mexico and the only gas available is through the state run company, but there's a market.

As to China and other countries making and exporting small fuel efficient vehicles- most of those car don't and never will meet US safety standards.

How about this crazy idea- we start trying to making fuel efficient and alt. energy vehicles in the US. For freaking years now the US auto industries have focused on large fuel guzzling vehicles and have blown off the concept of anything else. Now they and their employees are paying for that strategy. Seems like after the gas lines of the late 70's they might have at least had a plan for this. No it's always "we have a prototype, it'll be out in 3-5 years." I've been reading this for 15 years now. They had, can't remember who made it, an electric car. People who leased them loved them. After all the leases were up they canceled them and took them out to the desert and crushed them. And they did this why?
