Jim Hobb's presentation allowed me to fully learn the capabilities that this institution has to allow me to Research. With this new knowledge, I researched hybrid cars for my final project. (Sadighi, lalee. "Fisker's Hybrid Car Fueled With $115M."Red Herring. (2012): 2-2. Print.). This Journal Article is about "Fisker's Automotive Company" that raised 115.3 million dollars. The company needed to raise that much money in order to receive a conditional loan from the U.S Department of Energy worth 528.7 million dollars. The money is going to be used in the development of two new Hybrid Cars; The "Karma", a luxury sports sedan, and the "Nina", a cheaper family car. The main point of this article is to show that hybrid cars are on the rise and that there are investors out there that see potential in this market. (Carty, sharon. "Toyota unveils smaller hybrid concept car." USA Today. (2010): Print.). This article is about how toyota just uvieled a new concept car. It is smaller than the "Prius", thus, it gets better gas milage. This is the start of toyotas expansion of their hybrids. This article shows that Toyota is targeting the middle class and even lower class families with cars that are green but cost much less "green". After reading both of these articles, I am still interested in doing this topic for my final project, but I need to somehow tie symbolism and creative writing into it. because I don t want it to be a research paper.
