GM sells 1,760 Volts in June, double from 2011. Have people come to their 'green' senses?

That would be NO, just more social engineering.
“Volt sales have been boosted by California's decision to grant solo Volt drivers access to carpool lanes. GM spokesman Jim Cain said 1 in 5 Volts are sold in the Golden State.”

I'd like to know if any government agencies bought some of these in mass volume or if it was strictly individual sales. Nobody who is informed wants this lemon.
The Geo Metro is a great little car, both of my brothers own one, the problem is the size for most people. The new electric cars will get bigger and more efficient.
at most, 20 days of electricity was delivered in Texas by wind turbines 2011. that's less than 6%. You must have Kw charge under $0.06 per Kw. were I live each reacharge is over $1.50. Now where does that electricity come from? In the US nearly 60% comes from coal, another 25% from Natural gas. The Grid is already nearly maxed and say you take 1,000,000 people in LA with electric cars all being plugged in between 5-7pm. what do you think will happen? seems California has had a lot of brown outs over the years.
Real people with volts are finding well under 40mpg average factoring in cost of electrical recharge.
In any debate, liberals ALWAYS turn to personal attacks, redirect fault, slander, hateful statements, denial, or religion when they can't win. At the moment you see this occurring, you know you have them beat, now the hard part is to finish the battle.. Once these things happen then emotions take over and there's no logic remaining.
as for the volt how can poor people, that want to save the world, possibly afford a volt? I sure can't. I can't even afford a prius. but I sure can affort a Geo Metro that gives me 50-53 mpg and a Volkswagon rabbit diesel that ran 58-62 mpg and it ran great on renewable fuel (veggie oil) I made the mistake of using veggie oil from a donut shop. the cops followed me everywhere.
now can I interest anyone in green worms?
as you can see,
even the worms are not safe from the global warming bunch
I think the Volt is an interesting car. Unfortunately it cannot compete with the Toyota Prius which now has a plug in model and is far cheaper than the Volt.
