Showrooms gearing up for green vehicles

From an article by Thomas Content in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

Michael Vickerman, executive director of the renewable energy advocacy group Renew Wisconsin, called on the public to become more informed about the energy challenges the nation faces.

Bradlee Fons, co-founder of the Milwaukee Hybrid Group, agreed.

"We're an energy illiterate country. We don't know where it comes from or how much we use."

To Vickerman, it is concern about future oil supplies, not global warming, that will force policy-makers to attempt to boost supply of renewable energy and alternative fuels, he said. It's been three years since the major oil company Chevron announced, "One thing is clear. The era of easy oil is over."
