  • Battery Investing for Beginners [View article]
    So yeah, once or twice a year you drive your 100 mile range vehicle to the airport, train station or bus terminal, fork out the doe to go the 800 miles in relative comfort and over the year you have to be ahead of the deal financially.

  • The Plug In Vehicle Scam [View article]
    frflyer, re: your comment-wish I could have given it 20 thumbs up-very well said.

    Dirk McCoy: "I want to see climate change that is in the hands of God", you gotta be kidding! And your comment about alternative energy is even more ignorant. Alternative energy produces a small fraction of our energy needs and even if Obama could get his wish and double the U.S. alternative energy output it would still be a small fraction of the U.S. energy needs. Do you use the teachings of Nostradamus also to get information about the future?
