Perhaps it's because younger generations (tail end of gen-x and younger) are beginning to take control of the market. 2 out of 3 car commercials I see now are for hybrids and they are marketed directly at me.

The boomers still hold political power, but that is likely to change in the next couple political cycles. I think the focus on green policy will increase as time goes on. The scientific evidence of climate change (note, not "global warming") is getting more and more significant. Only the wilfully ignorant are arguing against the basics at this point.

Which is why Suzuki is shooting himself in the foot by emulating Jack Layton.
