I just saw the commercial for the first time during some Football (and remembered this thread title)...

What I took away from the commercial's message and imagery is that despite the pretty pictures and poetry, screw the Environment and "Get the Job Done".

The image that sticks in my mind the most is the Coal-Fired Power Plant.

I see it as a underlying attempt to appeal to anti-Green truck buyers (and use whatever money is left to break-off the RAM brand of Chrysler into its own and start the process of discontinuing "Dodge Trucks").

Some people see a full tank as an excuse for reckless consumption.
EcoModders see it as an opportunity.
