None of us have anything, Swannie. This is the classic old cliche that our form of government is the biggest piece of crap ever invented except for everything else that's been tried. You can't dictate or legislate human nature.
As to some comments above about electric cars and why they should be produced in greater quantities etc. I knew I had read this before but I had to wait until the weekend to look it up. The big thing right now is lithium ion batteries. Has a nice high tech ring to it, right? Ever thought about where the lithium comes from and how is it produced? Check this out Autobloggreen.com There's not only no free lunch here, there's not even a snack. The other question is cost. I spent about a half hour or so searching trying to find the cost of the batteries for the Chevy Volt and nobody's saying what it is but guesses are from $4-17,000. They say the batteries should have a life of around 150,000 miles. Not bad but how many of us keep our cars in good shape for quite a long time? What is the value of a 10 year old car that still looks pretty good but needs that kind of dough to keep running? Regular gas engine cars can be worked on piecemeal, if you want to restore it or just keep it running, you can spend a few hundred here, a few hundred there, do some work yourself, etc. With the Volt or other electric car, when it comes to the batteries it's all or nothing, that's it. Here's another site that goes into this GM-volt.com Note it's not all bad news, there possibilities being discussed that could make this work out but the point is it's not been worked out yet and this is not some kind of wonderful panacea that's been hidden from us by evil corporations that's going to save the planet. Far from it.
