Unfortunately, I don't believe an all-electric car would be at all practical (or
workable) at the present time. And if the Obamanistas FORCE GM to produce such
vehicles, well, they're not going to be well-received by the general public and
they'll sit on GM lots with very few being sold. The market just isn't there for
them. Hybrids, on the other hand, would be much better. Toyota has enjoyed great
success with their Prius. But, GM, thanks to their pathetic union, the UAW, and
the Obamanistas, will wind up going out of business, a la Hupmobile, Marmon,
Studebaker, etc... Too big to fail? I think not.
I personally will never buy another GM vehicle, electric or not. I'm disgusted
with them after the bail-out fiasco. I have an Olds 88 now that I'm going to get
rid of very soon. It's crap. I am totally disgusted over the abysmally poor
quality of their cars. I'll buy either Ford (because they refused to take
bail-out money), Nissan, Toyota or Volkswagen from now on.

Cardill, I don't know if this a natural cycle or if it really caused by carbon. I guess time will tell. What I do know is it cost nothing to make electric...

I've heard the same. These cars have a LOT of teething problems before they'll ever be perfected. Prototypes are like that. P-51 Mustang, for instance, went...
