Check this out:

1. The USA has HUGE reserves of coal that can be used in a CLEAN manner to produce electricity.

2. GM is already working with our power companies to assure the GRID is up to the additional task of charging loads of Volts.

3. Nuclear power plants are being built now to help provide additional electricity.

We could plug this thing in. The average commute is going to use ZERO gasoline. Electrical charging stations are being added NOW.
Simple plugs in parking lots. Either free, or with a 25 cent meter. That would mean charging the car at work, extending commuter range to 80 - 100 miles! With NO gas.

The engine extends range by charging the battery if necessary.

This vehicle is not only GM's savior, it is also the USA's by helping us reduce, and later stopping oil imports that drain our economy and allow tyrants to give orders and decide how our economy and country run,
by way of fluctuating fuel prices.

DO NOT be fooled by today's bargain gas prices, when they can squeeze us again they WILL. Time has shown us again and again...

Seems to me, gas prices soaring had a LOT, (not all) to do with our glorious US economy screeching to a HALT.



EDIT: The reason gas prices are down, is mainly because Americans drove a LOT less miles last quarter, good ole supply and demand.

Now, if we get enough Volts on the road to keep gas demand low, and/or lower, WE get low gas prices for our MUSCLE cars! Woo-Hoo. Volt me baby - for commuting.
