For all the excitement over eco-friendly cars - from gas-sipping hybrids to electric vehicles - Americans aren't exactly rushing to dealerships demanding replacements for their gas-powered rides. On the next Sound of Ideas, we bring you an encore presentation of our show from May about the state of the alternative vehicle industry. Do the cars save enough on gas to justify the premium buyers must pay to purchase them? Join host Mike McIntyre Wednesday at 9.
