We aren't disagreeing, you're operating under a false premise, that electric cars are the only long term viable solution to personal transportation needs.

link?

make  statements about what i think, i'll do the same about what you think.

I think the Leaf has been selling ok.

I think the Leaf has been selling ok.

I had no idea they were so expensive.

The Leaf is a much better deal than the Volt and a much better car. It's still too expensive, though. These electric cars should only get cheaper moving forward, but the Leaf's 30 minute charge time (with a quick charger that only charges the battery 80%) is still way too long for me to ever buy one, regardless of price.

A 30 minute charge time for a pure commuter car is no big deal. You charge it when you get home, and it is ready to go when you need it. Because it is only intended as a commuter car, there really is no realistic situation where you're gonna be charging up "on the road" like at a gas station.

The Leaf is certainly more promising than the Volt, but I agree that it is still too expensive for a pure commuter car, when you have to own another for longer trips.

the same people that preach "self reliance" and "civil liberty" are the same ones that consume the most energy.


but you wont' see a right winger who claims a "pull it up by the bootstraps" mentality volunteering to put in the effort to ride a bike, or cut down on consumption.

Nope, those concepts are STRICTLY for "liberal communist bleeding hearts" that dont' know anything about why gas prices are climbing.


Enjoy your SUV. We're all paying for it.

Nice fact

California consumes nearly 40% of the gasoline sold in this country.  A real bastion of right wingers that state.

can't believe I did this, but...

The five largest states by total fuel consumption – California, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas – consume 56 billion gallons of fuel, which is 33 percent of total vehicle fuel consumption nationwide. The five states consuming the most diesel fuel – California, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas – consume 11 billion gallons of diesel fuel, which is 30 percent of diesel vehicle fuel consumption nationwide.
