2015.

Considering that Obama has also set the goal of destroying the US power
generating structure, it seems his goals conflict. Then again, what is
so unusual with that--considering he's an idiot with about the same
brains as a small kumquat?

t last year.



There were stunning 6.000 Volts sold last year.

In January this year 603 Volts.

There are other countries with high goals in electrical cars.

Difference is they are doing something about it.

They are planning for real electrical cars and in many cases also installin=
g electrical poles to recharge the cars.

They are often set up in parking places so you can charge the car while you=
 shop or work.

France and Germany are going heavily in for this and assigning a lot of fun=
ds for this great change.

There are several other countries also doing a lot for this change.

Not the least china.

It seems to be strange that many think that the electrical cars need to be =
expensive and putting a lot of money into development.

The electrical cars are really very simple so I do not understand why this =
seems to be considered expensive.

Anyway back to the Volt - not an electrical car - why is Obama so keen on m=
aking the Volt hybrid so special?

The customers are not flocking to it.

Of those 603 cars sold in january 600 were donated to charity so only 3 car=
s were actually sold.

But GM is used to customers not excited about their offerings.

The charities are also trying to sell the cars they got in order to get som=
e value out of the deal but it is not easy.
