Actor promotes tax breaks for hybrids
|
Actor Rob Lowe, who plays a member of Congress on ABC's "Brothers & Sisters”, testified before a special House panel looking at energy and global warming issues and  appeared later at a demonstration which was held about three blocks from the Capitol featuring a Toyota Prius that had been converted to a plug-in hybrid.
Lowe mentioned that his interest in clean energy was not new, saying that the first money he ever made and was able to invest; he invested in an alternative energy company 25 years ago. "Like a lot of Americans, I've been watching as the climate changes and as we are in a war on terror where our oil addiction helps fund people that want to kill us. It's gotten my attention”, he added.
He promoted plug-in hybrids, which have electric and gasoline motors, plus a battery pack that can be recharged at home. "I have been driving this car around and I have to tell you, it did what my mother couldn't do. It did what my driving instructor couldn't do — it's made me a better driver," Lowe said.
