Man I sure am glad that Henry Ford got it perfect the first time so that we could all be driving model T's for the last hundred years. And those wright bothers, wow. I really enjoyed my last open-air flight across the pacific in that wright brothers airplane...

...The Volt is not the last electric vehicle to ever be built, its one of the first. It is a step along the path, not the final destination. EV's may never become widely accepted, or they may be the only thing we drive in ten years, but the only way to find out is to head down the path and see where it leads.

It's OK to sit on the sidelines and complain about everything (many people on this board have made this into an art form), but please make sure that you get the hell out of the way when the people actually trying to do something positive come through.

I'm not an EV fan - I'm a CNG guy. But I applaud the effort at GM on the Volt. It blows my mind that the same guys that complain about the oil situation on this planet also complain about EV, CNG, or any other technology that might make a positive impact.

Whiners whine - doers do...
