Santa Ynez Valley News Paper - "Driving on sunshine"

The paper recently ran a front page story regarding the second annual "Green Business - Energy Efficient Forum", advocating the advantages of electric and hybrid vehicles.  It's funny how the "manager" of the Community Environmental Council ONLY states one side of the "green" idea.  I could throw out my credentials and back it with experience, but what's real basic about this topic is that solar power, photo voltaic power, electric/hybrid cars is that the technology is NOT EFFICIENT!  It takes more energy to make all of these products than what they save.  But, the politicians and the "green" know-it-alls are going to try to shove these products and ideas down our not-so-gullible throats!  It's all part of the "carbon footprint" agenda.  Based around a new world order and total population control.  I refuse to let them tell me what's good for me and my family.  The paper should be ashamed of themselves for not allowing any rebuttal to the story.
