All these pro-Volt stories have a certain Soviet flavor to them.
Yes, the Soviets used to announce a bold and rosy 5 year plan, for crops. They did it every 5 years and then at the end of the 5 year period, would announce that it failed due to bad weather patterns all over the Soviet Union. Then they would announce a brand new 5 year plan, this one sure to succeed.
Volt will simply say it failed due to global warming.
