Brian Toye writes on the Oregonian op-ed page about ordering the ZENN car. ZENN stands for Zero Emmissions No Noise. He had the same reaction I did when he read that Congress has worked with auto makers to improve U.S.fleet mileage to 35 mpg by 2020. Our first reaction|: That's unacceptable!

Brian's solution was to buy the ZENN, built in France and re-engineered in Canada.

Reading the comments to the YouTube, I became aware of other alternatives in the wings, the ZAP-X for example:

Where are the American auto companies? Oil is almost $100 a barrel and gasoline is $3.00 at the pump. We could be looking at $4.00 gasoline in May. These two examples of electric cars are perfect for the commuter, the mom-taxi, and the short trips around town. I guess the Americam auto companies are going to cede this market, too.
