[The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future] The Oil Drum | The Auto Efficiency Wedge:  And the component makers won't even sell in small volume to home builders so they could build for themselves (I have known hot rodders who could have these components together and running in less than a month if you would sell to them, they build kit cars, dragsters, and pulling tractors out of the junkyards that can stand 500 plus KW, this would seem like a kiddie car project)  So here we are, knowing what HAS to be done, knowing what CAN be done, but not quite able to get `er done....and don't tell me how no suburbanite is going to be able to afford it and instead will walk away from his half million dollar home....
