Not ready to roll: "GM (GM) wouldn’t be in quite so deep a hole if it had not sunk a billion dollars, and much of its corporate reputation, into a not-very-realistic plug-in electric hybrid vehicle known as the Chevrolet Volt."

Maybe GM should reinvent the Stanley Steamer! Buy NO!

The pollutiion problems (from WP article)"global warming not least among them" Even burning NatGas (the same stuff I burn in the kitchen to cook food) is a pollutant! But in my case kitchen warming is welcomed in January! LOL And if I havn't used enough polluting NatGas to cook the beans properly the world will still pay.

Oh, I see, use NatGas to generate electricity for your cars. Huh? Gee Dad, where does electricity come from? I thought it all came from the dams on the rivers. Isn't is almost like...free?

Maybe, dad, you should just get rid of your riding mower to save the planet! You only have two acres to mow! Also, dad, and get rid of the 6 horsepower polluting snow thrower that you use on you 300 foot driveway.
And what about your stinky speed boat at the lake.... you should be rowing anyway.
Someday, son, you will realize that one of the many college courses I paid for should have been ECONOMICS.
