]]> Comment on Iraq’s Local Government Success by John Deighton http://www.municipalsolutions.org/blog/?p=83#comment-2880 John Deighton Sat, 02 Jan 2010 20:49:55 +0000 http://www.municipalsolutions.org/blog/?p=83#comment-2880 Dave, I really enjoyed reading this and yes, what a question. So much we in the western world are given the media view that corruption is to blame for the lack it would seem of any real progress, but as you so eloquently explain, this is not the case. It's so refreshing to have your insight and perspective, from right there, 'side by side' as yuo say with the Iraqi leadership who are so eager to learn and grown from consultants as yourself. You surely are making one heck of a difference to their country. Keep up the good work. All the best, John. Dave, I really enjoyed reading this and yes, what a question.

I am a big fan of them. They can get triple the gas mileage of an average car. I can see why a taxicab driver would save tons of money as their car is their livelihood. Here is the catch. Hybrids are more expensive, sometimes up to $5000 more costly, than a regular car. You have to drive a lot, and I do mean a lot, for you to recoup that extra money on the actual price of the car versus what you save at the pump. For the people who trade their cars in every 3-4 years its not worth it. If you drive a lot or keep your cars forever, like me still driving my 1997 Land Rover and love it, they are gold mines.

I would like to see our cities have full independence from oil fuel within the next 10 years.
