I already posted my thoughts elsewhere but in brief:
This is nothing more than posturing & puffery, given the inability of any automaker to produce hybrids in sufficient numbers.
For example, the 2010 Fusion Hybrid has a planned run of 20,000 units this MY for all of North America.
Guess how many Canada gets? If it's anything over 200 total for all of Canada I'll eat a brick and no the other manufacturers are no better. Hell if GM ever produces their electric car I'll faint, NVM their half assed "hybrids" (Including an Escalade hybrid... what a waste of technology <_<)
And if McDipstick isn't careful, they'll end up giving rebates on the Lexus hybrid <_<
The upshot is, he gets his warm & fuzzy "hug the Earth" moment and has to put out peanuts to do it.
