How clean do you think electricity is? Comes from alot of coal combustion, eh?

We should try to be more efficient by actually being more efficient. Even the Chevy Volt which is an excellent concept (w/ any electric car) weighs a ton more than it needs to. How many people need 1.5 tons of metal following them around everywhere they go. If gas prices would continue to increase, which they will, people are going to learn to use scooters for short commutes, not drive suvs, drive subcompacts for everyday driving instead of sedans, not use giant diesel semis if they happen to run a shipping company, and maybe even walk a place or two. Everybody's going to have to shape up soon. You can't have a truly green way to transport a person around inside a four doored cage.

Anyways I'm glad to hear of an electric car release in 08. Definitely a step in the right direction.
