i think it's great that computers can "go green", but they're not a major source of pollution like vehicles are. this would be a brilliant (and easy) solution, yet it seems invisible except to a handful of car and environmental enthusiasts that are pursuing it now.
Although lets give credit where credit is due; a lot of car manufacturers have expressed a willingness and ability to invest in new high-efficiency vehicles if the government would provide the right incentives (mostly in the form of investments) for them to continue development. Some companies have even started developing these vehicles on their own at considerable financial loss.
