Thats is what they are good for.
They use gas for speeds over something like 35 I think. I know Im wrong about the speed but they only use elec. for in city driving and highway is all gas. They need to make something better sooner.
Someone claimed that the Prius has a thermos-bottle-like container in the engine compartment, and when you shut the thing down the hot oil is pumped into the thermos. When you restart, the engine won't run until the hot oil has been pumped back into it.
The real deal is the question of:
1. Where is the water?
2. What quality is the water?
It may be the case that the net amount of H20 is basically constant. The problem is that taking water from, say, an aquifer is different than taking it from a lake or an ocean. If the pumping from an aquifer exceeds the rate of replenisment you will have a problem eventually. If water is far away from where it needs to be for people and it is expensive to transport and treat then you have a "shortage" even if there is a constant amount of water globally.
Global warming discussion aside, I think it is sort of obvious that one can only grow so much kentucky blue grass in the desert before you have a problem of some kind. I'm all for the small, practical obvious improvements in efficiency even though I'm against being paranoid or wasting large amounts of money.
Good observations. If the new administration wanted to implement a really beneficial, job-creating federal infrastructure project, build something I'll call the North American Water Management System. It seems to me there's plenty of water around, but it's often in the wrong place. This spring, for example, Fargo was under 43' of flood water, but Florida was in the middle of a continuing drought. During hurricane season, the tables might be turned. With enough pipes, pumps, tunnels and storage facilities, we could move water from where it's in surplus to where it's needed. If implemented, of course, it would make the Roman Aqueduct and the Interstate Highway System look like childrens' toys, and would cost a bundle, even in Democrat terms, to build and maintain.

This is awkward, but...
