2005: a big year for offshoring?
Research firm Gartner published a study Monday saying it "isn't as widespread as people think", with lower-cost locales accounting for less than three per cent of money spent on global information technology services this year. Gartner projects that figure to grow but remain a relatively small fraction of total spending. By 2008, spending on IT services delivered through "global sourcing" will reach about seven per cent of a $728bn total market - or roughly $50bn. A more bullish view came Thursday from NeoIT, a consulting firm that advises clients about offshore projects. NeoIT "foresees a big year for offshore outsourcing growth in 2005" and predicts that more than "80 per cent of the Global 2,000 will have an offshore presence by the end of the year." Although the studies do not necessarily contradict one another, their differing tones reflect a broader set of conflicting opinions about the hot-button topic.

New energy bill calls for 35 MPG CAFE, increased ethanol production ...
Remember, the first locomotives ran on STEAM until a new technology (internal combustion) replaced them.The point is that these things are likely possible to change (whether it's electric or hydrogen or natural gas or something, as yet, undiscovered). Your concerns about being able to tow something are valid today but not likely to be valid as the technology improves. And no one is saying that you CAN'T have your big truck - it's just saying that that big truck has to get better. Why's this such a bad thing? Don't people want better things?With regard to electric/hybrid cars just transferring the pollution to other places, this issue has been studied and it has been determined that electric and hybrid cars, over their lifespan when compared to internal combustion cars, produce much less pollution.
