In one of the last articles posted regarding China, they mentioned that the Chinese won't be seeing the Volt until it is fully commercialized across the States and Canada. Read the articles and you'll see. They better get it up here cause I'm gonna have to travel down to NY and get mine as soon as it comes out. I was watching the hockey game yesterday and I saw my first Volt commercial; I almost passed out in front of the TV! They're finally advertising for the Volt in Montreal. Do you guys have those ads in Toronto also? It will.

This way, it will be much easier to satisfy all of us here at Volt Nation, and making sure we're the ones getting our Volts first!! :) MONTREAL, Canada

What counties of the United States are THE worst offenders when it comes to carbon dioxide emissions. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/04/080416175442.htm http://www.sciencedaily.com/images/2008/04/080416175442-large.jpg These are the places that Al Gore and the other environmentalists ought to be focused on. People in these counties won't want to have the stigma of living in a county that might be smogging up their area and causing global warming. Coal plants spew out a bunch of mercury and who knows what else you know. Living near a coal plant is probably FAR worse than living near a nuclear plant like we've been lead to believe. Not a place you really want to raise your kids. Kind of like living with a chain smoker. Not good. No doubt about it. No wonder LA and Houston have some of the worst pollution in America. Apparently, they have the most COAL PLANTS. I bet this really irks all the environmentalists in California and makes them want to switch to solar thermal, wind, and photovoltaic energy. I bet California is going to figure out ways of shutting down those old coal plants before long. I bet a lot of new Volt and hybrid car owners in the LA area will NOT like the idea that their new cars will be running on electricity that came primarily from old, dirty coal plants. It looks like California would have to be very desperate for cheap electricity before they EVER build another NEW coal plant there ... even one of those so-called "clean coal" plants. Ain't gonna happen. The environmentalists would freak out. :) Just found what I’ve been wondering about.
