about 100 years ago Henery Ford came along and invented a cheap automobile. People bought into them because they were better than the horse powered vehicles they had been using for the past 10,000 years or so. Today there is an estimated 240,000,000 vehicles in use in the United States alone. I can't imagine the polution that would be made by 240 million horses moving us around --Methane fertilizer CO2 etc. The point is, it will be a bright person with the right idea that will get us out of our mess and not some government know it all. If we really need it somebody will invent it !!

We do all owe Al Gore a thanks for inventing the internet, without him we wouldn't be sitting here acting like a bunch of female dogs and talking about high gas prices and "Volts". I guess now Government Motors has their own "Edsel"

The secretary of energy Steve Chew was asked today if he owns a Volt, after pointing the blame on everyone else on hi gas prices. He replied by saying he doesnt own a car?

With a reply like that you sure would think more people would be more concerned on were the price of gas is going to go!

I wonder if you were to plug 200,000,000 cars all in at 7PM in the evening would the power lines all glow red hot, would my A/C quit?? Are the electric companys ready for this? Did we even plan for electric cars? Do we need to convert over to 240 volts or maybe 3 Phase for home use?

I got by somehow without the EPA for the first thirty years of my life. We gave it an inch and it took a mile. I Wish they would put a few of those regs up to a popular vote but they realize we are too dumb to make such an informed decishion about or life. I sure am glad those nice fokes up in Washington DC are watching out for us poor dumb folk in the flyover states.
