Ron Gettelfinger's column's title might be a bit too forward thinking.

've heard a lot about advanced technology vehicles such as hybrid, pure-electric, natural gas and biofuel-powered, which the UAW supports. But even the most ardent advocates acknowledge these technologies won't be fully a part of the American mainstream for many decades. Until then, Americans will be using the reliable internal-combustion engines for the majority of their transportation needs.

Until then, you're going to drive our gas guzzlers and you're going to like it! Yes we can!

Labor has always sided with industry to screw over environmentalists. Wouldn't it be nice if this were to change some day?
