Automakers Sing the Body Electric | Autopia from Wired.com

Automakers Sing the Body Electric | Autopia from Wired.com: "The future of the automobile was sealed at North America's biggest auto show this week, where all of the hottest new cars and concepts had extension cords.

Any idea that ethanol or hydrogen will lead us past petroleum was tossed out the window, as the big automakers — hobbled by a brutal economy, gyrating oil prices and humiliating congressional tongue-lashings — limped into the Detroit auto show. They all put on a brave face with the hybrids and electric vehicles they promise to start putting on the road next year."
