A Simple Solution to a Worldwide Crisis

What gives developed countries the right to force developing economies to use "green" technologies [SIZE=3]when those 1st world countries aren't even using the same "green" tech themselves?[/SIZE] It is not that they cannot afford it.

Developing countries can ill-afford expensive "green" tech.

IMHO, you mentioned this. Thats why I mentioned Japan. Japan is a first world country. And they are using Prius. And they can afford it.

So, I disagree by posting that article in Japan regarding the increasing sales of Prius.

Go ahead and buy a P2M Toyota Prius if it floats your boat. Tell us how much the replacement battery pack costs after two years of use.

I would rather get the Toyota Vios 1.3L ... practical, frugal on the fuel and costs less than 50% of the price of the Prius which means you have money for gasoline for the next decade.

On the other hand, I agree on the second.

Its because with a price tag of 2 million pesos (Toyota Prius), you are correct, developing countries like the Philippines can ill afford it.

Regarding your last statement, Im really considering Vios instead of buying an Adventure diesel.
