We started an atomic energy plant in Southern Indiana about 30 years ago, The inspectors found so many things wrong with it the power company threw up it's arms and converted it to coal and charged us for the time and money they lost. The company did not loose any money they just passed the extra cost along to the consumer, that's me.
Why can't we leave these new ideas up to the inventors when they make an improvements on anything we will know it and switch over. People without ideas go to work for somebody else and make regulations that others can't keep up with. True inventors like (Revolution Racing) work for themselves and try to find something they can sell to the rest of us to make our lives better.

The cost of getting rid of coal should send a shiver up everyones back
The cost of alternitive energy is never talked about is it?. The volt sounds like a good happy idea until you think it out. I pulled up next to a volt the other day and thought it looked nice, and wasnt even sure what it was till i saw the name on the back..
