If you can't haul 4'x8' plywood or sheetrock, where's the 'utility'? Driving habits also change with the SUV lifestyle, more speeding, talking on cell phones, tailgating, etc. Unfortunately, no matter how good the technology or intentions, people will push the envelope too far, for all the wrong reasons. And who hasn't been deprived by Corporations, has been compromised by drought and famine induced by global warming. I’ve never owned a SUV, thank god.

And a moratorium on making biofuels a scapegoat for anythng that's wrong with the world, and on tactics like saying if G.W. Bush likes it, it must be evil. Classic guilt by association, dished out with twisted rhetoric, and seasoned with obsession. How about a five year moratorium on greed, which is really the cause of this situation.
