The Vatican goes electric

[JamesMcQuaid]

Pope Benedict XVI is already called “The Green Pope” thanks to measured taken since his installation to reduce the carbon footprint of the Vatican City.

Now the Vatican can add green transport to the list of the Pontiff’s green virtues, thanks to an electric city car donated to the Vatican by Italian electric car company NWG.

A 2-seat electric city car with a top speed of 62 mph and a range of around 86 miles per charge, the tiny car has already received its papal blessing and will be used for official Papal business around the Vatican City.

Back in 2010, the Vatican disclosed that His Holiness The Pope was keen to bless electric cars for Vatican use, but later admitted that it felt that electric cars couldn’t cope with the high amount of armor now standard on every Papal car.

Vatican City would be the perfect place to go all electric.

I can't believe this is Fox. What will all those Fox news viewers/readers make of this? There's no way anyone can call Pope Benedict XVI anything but conservative... and he supports a commie, left-wing, socialist electric car?!?

In addition to the 'green' credentials, maybe there's something about not supporting the spread of inhumane strains of Islam with petro-dollars....
