I'd rather see govt. money being spent so people could bike to work if they so chose (rather than funding Ford and GM's hybrid program). In my city (1/4 million people), the roads are for **** and the side-walks don't exist in 75% of the area in a way that would safely allow travel by bike.
Not only would we have less medical issues if people began biking or walking more, but we would cut down on fuel consumption, pollution, and city beautification would be enhanced as well as more social opportunities being available to actually get out and meet people.
That being said, I think electric cars will take over in large cities like NY where you only need to drive 5-15 miles a day.
