In my opinion the chevy volt is going to change car industry

In fact, I predict this car will make GM the#1 car company again and be extremely profitable.

Dang, that is a sharp looking car. I'd even consider driving it and I hate the environment.

Wait, so you plug the car in? How is that any better for the environment? Don't we get electricity from burning coal in most places?

I would be very interested in a plug-in if one ever comes out that is also a decent car. I don't really drive that much so the 40 miles per day would be sufficient most days. That car looks a little too ricey in the picture, but a normal sedan couldn't be too far behind.

Second, even if coal is not the cleanest fuel, you can take advantages of economies of scale. Since a power plant is creating energy for millions of users, it can be much more efficient than an automobile. Also, even if coal has a lot of environmental problems, it much "cleaner" politically than oil. |
