How things change.

I recall chuckling just four years ago at a “South Park” episode in which town residents buy so many hybrid vehicles that they replace their smog problem with a smug problem.

I’m not laughing today. Fortunately, hybrids can no longer be spoofed as cars reserved for the environmentally “smug.” Hybrids have gone mainstream.

And now several major car companies are preparing to launch their largely all-electric plug-in cars, taking another bite out of the 176 million mostly gasoline-fueled vehicles on this nation’s roads.
