Check out this article that appeared in Wired Magazine about hybrid cars. Very interesting discussion about how Toyota has truly embraced the fascinating technology that powers hybrid cars. I smiled when they mentioned a few famous Toyota Prius owners: Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, and former CIA director James Woolsey. Yes, that’s right, a former CIA directer is a hybrid owner. There was a special called “We Were Warned” that aired on CNN about high gas prices a couple months ago (still replays from time to time, highly recommended). In the special, Mr. Woolsey was interviewed while cruising around in his Toyota Prius and they showed his compelling bumper sticker: “Osama Hates This Car” – a reference to how Osama bin Laden uses the politics of oil to promote radical Islam. (Stay tuned for future articles that subject)
Enough about Mr. Woolsey’s bumper sticker, here’s the article:
