Free Money! Yes, it's Green
Did you know that if you buy a hybrid vehicle, you can get a $500 rebate from the State of Pennsylvania?
State Rep. Bob Mensch (R-147th) wants to make sure you know and so, he sent me a press release to that effect.
Although flexible fuel and diesel fuel vehicles are not eligible (even though they should be), a list of specific vehicles that are is maintained by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
To be classified as a hybrid, they hace to have a combined MPG of more than 55 and they cannot emit more than seven tons per year of carbon dioxide.
The rebates are offered on a first-come, first-served basis until the money runs out.
I'm not sure how much is in there, but I know I got a check more than a year ago when I bought my Honda Civic hybrid.
To get your hands on the cash, you have to lease or purchase the vehicle new and complete a rebate form available on the DEP Web site.
For more information, or to view the full list, you can visit Mensch's Web site and click on "Hybrid Tax Credit."

It is common knowledge that diesel fueled vehicles are more effient than gas. It is no lie that Ford sells cars that get around 70 MPG in Europe. The engines run a really long time. It is no accident that trucks use those engines.
It is no lie that that it costs a refiner less to make diesel than gasoline out of crude oil.
Diesel is cheaper to make because they don't have to refine it as much. But isn't the refining process just as bad for the environment as refining unleaded gasoline?
The refining process is much less damaging today. I see your point that oil usage is bad for planet Earth. You would have to agree with me that human population growth is bad for the planet. Should tree huggers focus efforts toward birth control planet wide toward really making a difference on planet health ?!?
