Go To HELL Gasoline!

In a few short months, GM will be releasing the Volt; the car that will mark the beginning of the end for the Gasoline Powered Automobile! The Chevy Volt will be able to drive for up to 40 miles on battery power. This is less than the average 30 miles of commuting that Americans do every day! Also keep in mind that this is only the first of the next generation electric cars. Just imagine what things will be like in 10 years.
But what if your commute is more than 
30 miles? Well the Volt will be equipped with a gasoline generator to charge the batteries. 15 years ago the GM EV1 was making headlines around the world. But why did it take so long?
How come GM lolly gagged around? Maybe the time wasn’t right. Who knows? I’m sure it has something to do with money(instead of the environment)!
Well one thing is for sure; the American car buying public is ready to get out from under the gas dependent umbrella. All I know is that with the onslaught of solar energy and high tech lithium batteries, Gas will be gone forever!

I’m watching the evolution of cars with great interest and appreciated your post on the Volt. I included it as a link in my own post yesterday at http://digginginthedriftless.wordpress.com/2009/09/08/collapse-and-20-per-gallon-2-books-that-hit-me-hard/
Thanks for helping keep me up-to-date on the car world.
