The NG is limited resource as well. The oil pattern – 22% Oil import in 1970 and 70% import 2007 can be repeated for natural gas. For long haul heavy transport (trucks), public transport and airplanes NG should be good choice but for the rest I would doubt.

Check out the following plan to get America off foreign oil by oil billionare T. Boone Pickens.

Harness the wind and solar to generate electricity for the VOLT!

The only political ads I want to see on this website are those in which the candidate is actually endorsing the Volt and its approach as a part of the solution to our energy mess.

For both sides of the political spectrum… Please don’t come here to PANDER, come here to SUPPORT.

……..and may I add that while this is important that we will be drilling off the coasts and in ANWR when this is all said and done. Conservation is good. It will make our air in the big cities better. It will help ship less dollars out of the country BUTT…….

……..the dollar will continue collapsing till you cry uncle and allow drilling. Of this I am certain.

Cautious Fan :

That would explain why leaving my pocket pc phone in the truck during the day is terrible on the battery … I figured that out after a recent 100 degree day, when I left it on the charger in my truck… came out to the equivalent of a 60% charge. Hasn’t been the same since. Also, Tesla motors is basically insulating their batteries with “Anti-Freeze/Coolant” … makes sense.

I wonder if driving long distances, relying in the ICE for charging will severely limit the battery life due to the heat created in charging it.

Thanks for the battery information, seems like a very good resource.
