Should plugging in as quickly as possible be our primary goal?

CAFE versus electricity

Of course, striving for both a Corporate Average Fuel Economy of 60 mpg by 2025 while also achieving 10 percent plug-in penetration is the best plan forward, but what if there could be only one goal? What if all eggs were put into just one energy policy basket?

What’s better for America? 60 mpg or 10 percent plug-in penetration?

Certainly, plug-ins could be part of the formula for achieving 60 mpg fleet fuel economy. However, plug-ins wouldn’t receive any special tax credit favoritism if the goal were 60 mpg. Similarly, if the goal were 10 percent plug-in penetration, then automakers wouldn’t receive any tax incentives for anything other than plug-in vehicles.

What’s the better plan if America were to focus on one simple goal with the tax incentives to make it happen?

Just a few of the specs: eight batteries, one toaster, one microwave, one DVD player, one VCR, five exterior cameras and a “secondary auxiliary defroster.” Oh, and one really, really funky hat, under which exists one heck of a hair style. Those are the things you’ll find in and around the Stearus 2000, the creation of a real-life Captain H.M. “Howling Mad” Murdock that debuted at this year’s Woodward Dream Cruise. (How in the heck did we miss this one?)

The name is a combination of the words “Steve,” its inventor, and “Taurus,” the car. Steve is from Marine City, Michigan, a town that obviously breeds one-of-a-kind folk. He has almost as many quotable lines as his car has features (one of our favorites: “I also have a hammer”), so do yourself a favor and follow the jump to hear about the Stearus 2000 in his own words.
