Yellow Cabs Go Green
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced today the city's 13,000 vehicle taxi cab fleet will go entirely hybrid by 2012.
Is it just me or is this a fantastic idea? Are other cities considering this option?
The average taxi in NYC today runs at about 14 miles/gallon, while hybrids can get more than 35. This is part of the mayor's plan to reduce carbon emissions in New York City by 30 percent over the next two decades.
