Hybrids are on Their Way to Washington

According to the news reports, the CEO from Ford and GM are no longer traveling by plane to go see Congress in D.C.  Instead, they'll travel down in their own hybrids in an effort to disengage themselves from the corporate jet image they left with.

GM Chairman and CEO Wagoner will be traveling in a Chevy Malibu Hybrid, while For CEO Alan Mulally will take a Ford Escape Hybrid from Detroit to D.C. Wagoner's staff may be flying down, but Mulally's staffers will take turns with him in driving the Escape.

Chrysler Nardelli hasn't said if he'll be driving, but it's a good guess he won't be traveling by corporate jet.
