Does the economic downturn and low gas prices threaten progress toward greener vehicles?
I don’t think so. Don’t forget that while we have lower gas prices now, I think we’re still in for long-term fluctuations. At the end of the day, it would make more sense to the average customer buy a car that doesn’t guzzle as much as gas. So, I don’t think [the economy] will put a standstill on the development of green car technology.
