See, now I just sound like factless, baseless hot air and sh!t. Actually....yes. Lot of important sounding words without really saying anything. But at least it sounds intelligent.

Robinson Sat, 09 May 2009 18:14:37 +0000 http://gm-volt.com/?p=1653#comment-112365 The guy at the Washington Post has a valid point. E-REVs are NOT affordable. Fuel cell cars if they are mass produced are affordable and unlike BEVs and E-REVs fuel cell cars don't use any gasoline at all. Forget 450 tons of CO2, think no particulate pollution and practically no CO2 emissions. Mercedes has said that it will market a fuel cell car for $30k in the near future. If that is true, a series hybrid that costs $40k+ just doesn't make sense from an environmental and energy independence standpoint. Go nuclear, the electricity for electric cars whether they be hydrogen cars or BEVs has to come from somewhere. Go advanced solar technology. Yes to hydrogen pipelines. If $40k is what an eco friendly car is going to cost, then there is no excuse for not making that car a fuel cell car. An eco friendly car should be as close to non polluting as possible. Gasoline is out of the question. If GM has spent a billion dollars to market a series hybrid instead of a fuel cell electric vehicle, then it has made a humongous mistake.
