Both are cleaner than the current gasoline burning cars we have on the road now, and both will help greatly reduce our dependence on foreign oil.

The author is making a lot of assumptions about electric cars that may not be true by the time there are "millions of automobiles plugging into electric sockets as they arrive home from work each day." The first electric plugin vehicles aren't even sold yet, and by the time they do start selling them, it'll probably be a few thousand sold the first couple of years. It'll take time to build up into the millions of sales of these cars. Hopefully in the meantime, we can get our act together and get a lot more renewable energy on the grid. I suspect that many of the early adapters to electric vehicles will already have solar panels on their roof, eliminating the need to charge their car from the grid.

NG and electric vehicles are both a much better idea than any of the current types of cars we can buy today. I don't see why we should be picking winners already. Let's support both of them!]]> Wed, 02 Dec 2009 19:11:46 -0500

Also it was posted on a Russian web site. If you've ever read anything about all of the latest computer security threats and viruses, you'll find that a bunch of them seem to originate from Russia.

Your thoughts are appreciated, but might be respected a little more if you weren't writing the SAME THING on this web site every other day!

Who knows if the PHEV technology will eventually be a success or not, but you are clearly rooting for it to fail before it's even begun! I for one am rooting for GM and others to win on this one because they're actually doing something that's in the country's interests and trying to get us off of foreign oil. ]]> Thu, 27 Aug 2009 15:59:28 -0400

And although coal is dirtier than oil, at least it's produced here in the US instead of Saudi Arabia!

As for the Prius with solar panels on the roof, that just sounds like classic green washing to me. It's not doing anything to improve the gas mileage, is it? If not, it seems pretty pointless to me. Rip that solar panel off your car and put it on your house!]]> Thu, 23 Jul 2009 08:34:45 -0400

There isn't a great deal of skill involved with installing solar panels and things like that. And what skill is required is starting to be provided by many community colleges across the country already:

Is it really a good thing that more politicians are working on the problem? I would consider that a bad thing, and the main reason projects like this get held up for years. ]]> Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:02:21 -0400

IMO, we either pay a little now, or a lot later!
