"We take a look at sustainable energy solutions as gas prices skyrocket, focusing on the increasingly popular hybrid cars. We speak with the founder of hybridcars.com and go to an interview with an activist from the alternative energy movement...The Bush administration has proposed slightly increasing the fuel efficiency of minivans, pickups and some SUVS over the next five years.
