The Volt isn't about combating climate change, at least not according to Lutz who's been spearheading the program. He wants to reduce Americas dependence on foreign oil (a view which GM probably shares, though would never admit). So whether you believe in saving the planet or want to be independent, the Volt helps.
One other really cool thing about the Volt is that future generations of Voltec drivetrains will probably be the first fuel cell cars that GM sells to the public. The conversion from a normal car to fuel cells is quite extensive, but with Voltec its just replacing the generator and swapping the fuel tank. All the drive components (and much of the power management system)remain unchanged.
