• Actually, mr. mccain supporter, electric power is much less polluting per unit of energy used than gas consumption is, so although the pollution would be moved to some degree, it would ALSO be less. It would also make it easier to introduce improvements in pollution controls, all in one place... or plug in a new power source, like a fusion plant instead of a coal plant. "Offshore drilling" (which is far easier to chant than to implement) would (if it resulted in any more oil to begin with... remember, we're talking about a finite resource here that is being depleted orders of magnitude faster than it is being remade) only have a noticeable effect on gas prices YEARS from now.
  
  You like the power of gas? Did I mention that an electric motor has a far higher potential torque than any gas motor? Just depends on the power storage and delivery capacity (read: put more money into fundamental research instead of oil platforms)
  
  Basically, going electric is win-win and the only reason why you haven't heard otherwise is probably due to politics. In reply to: "Electric Chevy Volt debuts with lofty ambitions"
