Do any of these people have a clue where electricity comes from? I asked a recent Volt owner “why?” ... he said this will be the beginning of saving the planet because fossil fuels are not depleted. I couldn’t believe it ... this guy, (supposedly, I now wonder) ... is a college graduate and a “middle executive” in a large organization. These people actually think electricity comes out of a socket ... but they haven’t a clue how it got there. I’m really amazed.

Why, doesn’t electricity come from unicorns that crap skittles? Or is it pixie dust?
Well actually, the point I believe is to make us less dependent on foreign oil. We only generate about 1% of our electricity from oil, the major contributor is coal. Im not sure if all our coal plants are clean coal or not, someone else may answer that if possible. In any case im not against these new hybrid electric cleaner technologies, I just dont think enough research has been done on them to make them viable, costwise aswell as performance wise. It will in a few years probably, with the main driver being big oil companies focusing more and more on renewables, aswell as cost reducing. In any case, we have more coal than the middle east has oil and we can keep going on our coal reserves for 200 years
Hey, I used to know some idiot who thinks the same way.
