LOL...even in the San Fran Bay Area, the very heart and soul of lunatic "green" living, people have common sense.

They'd say, 'Let someone else save the planet. I want something with good speed.'"

ROTFL!!! Great stuff! 500 mile extension cords are hard to find also. Expensive too!

[gibsosa]

Oh, gosh, poor do-gooders, what to do now?? LMAO

[albie]

Best news I’ve heard all week! So goes “Air America”, the “MSM”, “newspapers”, global warming participants and now pc car dealers! Can’t force this BS down peoples throats! We won’t buy it! Not even liberals.

That's not common sense, thats hypocrisy. These are the same green weenies who always vote for Governor Moonbeam whenever he runs for anything, and who vote for the gov to spend our money so they don't have to spend their own.

Finally some good news!

Right. Electric cars save money by not burning fossil fuels.

And just how does all that electricity get generated?

DUH

And now obyummer and thugs are in charge of the car companies and has such wonderful new ideas to save the planet - such as painting all cars white - or light colors...and making them even flimsier - the thousands of more deaths that will result is a moot point to them - actually, probably a plus: less carbon dioxide breathers.

And they want to paint the roads white and roofs white - to deflect heat. (someone should check up on who has new stocks in white paint.)

Maybe now he should open a business selling wagon wheels.

That's they way it goes with these green types. They want everyone else to practice what they preach. Their actions speak volumes: "Living green" is for chumps.

Who in their right mind buys and opens a dealership for any brand of car when unemployment is as high as it is and people are not spending money? Did he really think an electric car would take the hills of SF well enough to sell?A fool and their money are soon departed!

“Closing?”

Here in St. Louis they never even OPENED.

Does that mean St. Louis is infinitely more sane than San Francisco?

[chris37]

What kind of sissy would be seen in this thing? Seriously, if they can't sell this homomobile in SF, they aren't going to sell it anywhere...furthermore, what would happen to the driver of such a "vehicle" if it was hit by an 18 wheeler? Are we going to have little electric 18 wheelers on the road now too so that the sissy cars don't make red road paint out of their drivers?

Something tells me that the whole "electric car" thing has really been thought through very well..

[bmwcyle]

Oh noooooooo loss of green jobs.

[Ditter]

Has anyone ever ventured a guess how much your home electricity bill would go up with the addition of an electric car?

I agree with part of this statement. The part I don't agree with is that people in SF Area have common sense. I've lived here for some time and Bay Area people are among the dumbest creatures walking the earth. The politics here are worst than insane. Nothing gets done quickly or efficiently. The Liberals/Leftists are in control of many institutions and it's frustrating as hell to live in this sea of stupidity. If it were not for the beautiful physical environment and the natural resources that God blessed the area with, this area would be worse than Detriot. It's the most poorly run area this side of New Orleans.

Now as far as electric cars are concerned, there is a fairly limited market. The battery electric vehicle (BEV) can really only be used in areas with moderate climate and as a commute car as well. That's very limiting. But the extended range electric vehicle (EREV) can be a major success. The Chevy Volt will be out in the fall and it's going to really amaze the country. There are going to be doubters on this site who will trash the Volt but most if not all of those folks are ignorant about the car. So I wish people would distinguish between BEV and EREV. EREV has an exciting future and probably many of those who critize it will themselves be driving an EREV in 10 years or less.

to benefit the environment and save his fellow Bay Area residents money by selling zero-emission all-electric cars.

Three lies in one sentence.

“’Let someone else save the planet. I want something with good speed.’”

Another great bumper sticker or t shirt slogan.

The Tooth Fairy will take care of everything and save the planet,,it’s settled science. Any 6 yr. old can tell you that.
