I understand the principle, but I'm just pointing out its less than a penny on the dollar if every single American bought a hybrid.

Also in the cash flow chain back to those jihadists sits the petrol industry, one of the largest developers of "green" tech out there. BP put more money into renewables last year than the US government. Jihadist cash flow won't change because we buy hybrids, but the people trying to provide cheap solar energy, wind energy and other diverse sources will suffer massive cut backs...

Nice principle, terrible implementation.

The Volt is not really too much cheaper than the Tesla family, for US taxpayers. auto bailouts and loans per taxpayer put the cost of every single car up.

The Volt is just a marketing scam. They got people reinvested in the bowtie with the volt and then sold them chargers, challengers, avengers and other cars that look pretty.

And, on a lighter note, why is GM selling Chrysler's merchandise? *facepalm* Oh, I get it, they're "giving back..." (I jest, of course.)
