    Are Eco settings on cabin ventilation systems a safety hazard?

    As corporate average fuel economy requirements that started in 2012 continue to tighten, automakers have turned to an entire arsenal of tactics to reduce the fuel their vehicles burn.

    Downsized and turbocharged engines, transmissions with many more gears, lighter-weight structures, better aerodynamics and more all add incrementally to efficiency.

    One of the less-discussed methods is the "Eco" button offered in increasing numbers of new cars, which reduces the car's available power and minimizes accessory use.

    Among the many vehicle systems an Eco setting can affect is the car's heating, ventilating, and air conditioning system, known by the acronym HVAC.

    Now, in an article published by the Society of Automotive Engineers, one vehicle engineer has suggested that reduced ventilation inside new vehicles could potentially lead to dangerous buildup of carbon dioxide, slowly imperiling occupants.

    CA bill would make up for federal electric-car incentives as they expire

    The state of California has a long track record of supporting electric cars and doing everything possible to ensure plug-in vehicles can be obtained by the largest number of drivers.

    Aside from the federal income-tax credits available nationally, the state of California has its own purchase rebates. Local utilities have also begun to incentivize electric cars.

    However, state and local credits don't match the hefty $7,500 credit offered by the U.S. federal government—and that will be phased out for each maker that sells 200,000 plug-in cars.

    Hey, media, get it straight: "electrified" is NOT "electric," and the difference matters

    OK, reporters of the world, it's time for a little chat.

    We know—believe me, we know—that you are cranking out a whole lot of copy, with much less support than you used to have, on far tighter deadlines, to feed a voracious, anonymous online audience whose clicks get you paid.

    But it's time to discuss the very, very important difference between two similar words that have gotten you in a world of hurt lately.

    Those two words are "electrified" and "electric."

    You might think they're pretty similar, right? Both something to do with electricity. And in stories you've written this year, those electric cars everyone's talking about. Right?

    Yes. But no.
