electricity is the solution for cars. Now we need new clean electricity generation and obviously less cars.

Check your states. i just wrote a news article on this. Ethanol is contributing to 75% of the price rise in grain stocks. Check UN food program etc

 

Pure electric cars are (probably) not going to be practical for a long time, so plug-in hybrids are (probably) the best approach for now. Beyond that the question of what is meant by "Clean" electricity generation determines whether it is possible or not ...

I'm dying to see how the Chevy Volt does when it's released.

I'm sure GM will find some way to fuck it all up, but it's an interesting vehicle to keep an eye on.

 

From my (very limited) understanding, I thought the Chevy Volt was a hybrid electric car which allows you to drive it in pure-electric mode and used the gas generator more as a back-up system.
