The Chevy Volt..

Hi Ted, Great discussion. I saw the commercial for them and felt like if I had to ride in one I'd not feel very safe. Come to think of it, I don't feel safe with Obama in charge either. Miss you my friend, how's it been?

The Volt and other electric cars just don't make sense to me. In order to power them you need to produce electricity and a majority of electricity in this country is made with coal--a "dirty" resource. The rest is hydroelectric, I think. So to power a nation of electric cars we would have to use coal--but we can't use coal because the prez says it produces unacceptable pollutants. So how would we power the cars?! As usual, it's all feel-good crap with no substance or thought behind it except the assumption that Americans are incredibly stupid and incapable of logical thoughts.
