The general population won't want hybrids unless it can make life cheaper for them. And right now, they don't, for the most part. The added cost of the systems doesn't pay itself off.

Exactly. But, once the new innovative system pays itself off, the prices wouldn't necessarily stay the same, right? They'd start coming down. The initial cost of building the more fuel efficient system (since the gov't won't pay for it) has to be passed along to the consumer. But, once that is caught up....or if the gov't even paid for it....or if the gov't offered rebates to those buying gas conserving fuel efficient cars (just coming up w/ ideas, here), that cost would come down to a reasonable amount.
