GM's Volt Could Earn a 230 MPG Rating

Actually the mileage per gallon in the first 40 miles is infinite, since it's running on zero gas. It is instead running on about 25 pounds of coal!

Reasons to Bail Out GM

goanywhere - How can you say no one wants a GM car? GM sells more cars than anyone worldwide, except Toyota. GM's cost structure (labor) and poor marketing (too many trucks) are reason they don't make money.

Sarath - Iacocca only delayed the inevitable. Chrylser has been building junk very since Lee's famed K-car. We'd be better off if they'd have gone out of biz and provided GM and Ford a better domestic market.

296960 - What do you consider a foreign car? Chryslers are made in Canada, Honda's in Ohio. The "foreign" companies have provided better jobs and economic wealth in the last decade than the big 3. Why penalize them and give money to the big 3? Let Chapter 11 do what it's supposed to do.

Reasons to Love 3-Digit Oil

Where do you think the electricity for electric cars comes from? How about the hydrogen? The answer is from fossil fuels. Hydrogen and electricity are energy FORMS, not energy SOURCES. We get electric from coal and hydrogen from natural gas. These cars don't solve the big issue. In fact, if everyone "plugged in" today, we generate more CO2, not less.

I wish people would look at the big picture when they talk about environmental solutions. You have to look at the end-to-end picture when you talk fuel cell or electrics. They are not polution-free by any means. Now, if you said we should build more nukes to power electrics, I'd be ok with that.
