You be optimistic, I'll be realistic. I was responding to what IS in that short blurb about the Volt. Is an electric powered vehicle great, yes. Its wayyyyy past due, they and other domestic manufactures did a poor job of looking toward the future. Now they are paying the price. But it does not make sense to me that they are yet depending on a non "domestic" source for the power yet again. Now Dragoneye has said that has changed, if so then hooray for that. I still dont understand how we could put a man on the moon but have all this difficulty with figuring out issues at hand.
