Jeffrey Immelt, the CEO of GE who doesn't pay taxes, will have to find
another vehicle to force his people who have company cars to purchase
and drive.

Has nothing to do with the technology and everything to do with the
sales.

I read that Volt production is suspended for 5 weeks so that demand
can catch up with production. Progressives rejoice. It ain't quite
dead yet.

Snake oil doesn't sell well in The good old USA

By the way, you sound a teensy bit more masculine than you did when
you posted as plume. Which leads to the question. Are you male,
female, or something else?

Hint for the misinformed:

I never posted as "plume".

With all due respect Bert, that sounds like a regurgitation from a
Rush Limbaugh rant. The republican party needs to put a muzzle on
that dude before he alienates every swing voter in the country.

I think the jury is still out on electric cars but any program at all
which encourages energy independence is a good thing in my opinion.

Exactly! I don't know why so many far right wingers are against getting
us off of oil.

It has everything to do with the COST of the technology tho.

Basically the problem is battery cost vs price.
These things are rich man's toys. If saving money is your objective,
buy a Cruze and put the left over $20,000-30,000 toward gas.

I understand the government will subsidize your electric car purchase
to make that price delta look more attractive but that does not reduce
the cost, it only transfers it to people who can't afford to buy one.


-----------------------------------
Very true. Look at the subsidy for a Tesla. Average income of a Tesla
buyer? $250k. As to technology. In 1919 an electric car got 30 miles to
the charge. What does a Volt get? 30 miles. Not a lot of technology
improvement in nearly a 100 years. Still down to battery technology. Plus
where is the power to charge going to come from? They say no pollution.
What about that coal or oil fired generating plant?
