It's never been about the economics for me. It's all about reducing fossil fuel use and demand. That's why I started driving diesels and making biodiesel back in 2003, and what do you know? It was cheaper than fueling a gasoline or diesel car.

I'm grown up now though, or maybe electric technology is, and I'm ready to get a Bolt myself (or a Leaf). I have further reduced my energy use by moving closer to my workplace (from 21 miles to 5), so the reduced range of an electric does not affect my driving at all.

Electric is the optimistic future and I embrace it.
