Post a Comment and Help Stop Automaker Greenwashing!

Coverage of the Los Angeles Auto Show online is dominated by a few major blogs who typically fawn over the big automakers' latest muscle cars and ignore the fact that automakers have done nothing to promote better overall fuel economy, lower global warming emissions, or mass produce plug-in hybrid cars.

Let's get all the folks inside the show who are furiously following the blog coverage of the event to check out RAN's high-speed conversion of a Prius hybrid to a plug-in hybrid. All we need to do is create a wave of people flooding the automotive sites talking about the false "green" promises from automakers and RAN's Freedom From Oil Campaign.

How?

Just follow the links below, post a comment with your views, and include a link back to RAN's blog post about the event:

Give them a piece of your mind, help shift mainstream coverage of the show and then let us know you how it went!

Here are a few points you might want to make in your comment:
- Plug-ins could reduce the average American driver's gas consumption by 85 percent!
- RAN is going to covert a Prius to a plug-in in less than a day. What's holding back the auto industry?
- The big automakers, despite their claims to be green, are lobbying heavily against increased fuel efficiency standards
- Readers and bloggers should learn more about what real environmental leadership looks like at RAN's blog: http://understory.ran.org/2007/11/14/ran-at-the-la-auto-show/
