This Car Was Made for You and Me

Both Barack Obama and John McCain are offering tax breaks when it comes to fuel efficient and zero emission vehicles. You can read the details about both plans online.

According to Barack Obama's website "Barack Obama and Joe Biden will also provide a $7,000 tax credit for the purchase of advanced technology vehicles as well as conversion tax credits." Or how about the plan to convert the "entire White House fleet....to plug-ins as security permits; and half of all cars purchased by the federal government will be plug-in hybrids or all-electric by 2012?"

On John McCain's website "For every automaker who can sell a zero-emissions car, John McCain will commit a $5,000 tax credit for each and every customer who buys that car." What are you thoughts on Senator McCain's idea of a "$300 Million Prize to Improve Battery Technology For Full Commercial Development of Plug-In Hybrid And Full Electric Automobiles?"

I am curious to know what your opinions are on the subject. Do you like these plans and tax breaks? Does anyone think it is a bad idea? Blog us back and you might see your response on Abrams and Bettes Beyond the Forecast from 7-8pm Eastern, or Evening Edition from 8-9pm
