If you read some of the comments at the IBD site, the libs seem to think that because the car is electric that it is somehow more "environmentally friendly" than a gasoline car and that it does not emit CO2.

These people are all morons. This car runs for 40 miles on coal and then when it's coal power gives out it runs on gasoline.

And what happens if everyone starts driving electric cars? The drain on the electrical grid will cause either a need for new coal powered electrical plants in every neighborhood or there will be rolling blackouts everywhere. I suspect that the libs would prefer to shut down the electrical grid to building new power plants.

Liberalism is a mental disorder. The Volt is a car built by morons for morons.

No worries. A/C will not be allowed in the future. Govt controlled thermostats will take care of that.

Is it fun painting with a broad brush? Not everybody gets their power from coal. Some people get their electricity from nuclear, wind, hydro, solar, etc. Yes, coal is dominant, but it won’t be forever, and many people already have a choice.

FURTHERMORE...
A Volt owner who happens to own their own solar array, and has a <40 mile R/T commute, can flip OPEC the bird all day long if they are so inclined. A Leaf or Tesla owner can, too (they just don’t have a plan “B” when the juice runs out).

THAT’S what I want out of an electric car. NATIONAL SECURITY. As much as I can buy.
