I can tell you that in my liberal county in liberal Maryland there is a TON of political reason to use alternative energy. Our local Ride On buses have been hybrid for many years and they are introducing all electric as well. The people that ride it don't care, but liberal voters and donors love to hear about a "feel good" story with little or no regard to practical application.
