We as a nation are struggling to find ways to decrease our reliance
on oil and reduce our CO2 emissions. Our future health and
prosperity depend on it. One of the key transitional moves towards
this will be the development of a strong plug-in hybrid fleet. This
new ruling will effectively kill the burgeoning plug-in hybrid
after market that has grown up in California at a time when all
efforts should be made to encourage it. Companies have already
developed a solution to the catalytic converter issue at question
which is telling the gasoline engine to start up at the beginning
of the ride to warm up the catalytic converter. This is a simple
solution which can be required of the companies until a better
solution is developed, rather than crippling a critical industry in
its infancy.
