Good points, Murdoch; I also hate it when dumasses like Bartmuss dismiss us as "...over-enthusiastic, but just too few of you" or when dumasses like Lutz and...

I must warn all reading this....gasoline WAS used, but I was NOT putting the Ranger on a hauler...she WAS going up on her own power... Left Rotterdam, NY with...
... Financial reports of GM look like they're going down for the third time, and if so, it'll be well deserved. Open letter to GM: You want to sell a whole lot...
I wonder if it would have been more accurate to call GM an infanticide (killer of its infant) than a parricide (killer of its parent). I think perhaps we...

The auto manufacturers have no interest in cutting a couple of teats off their cash cow (parts and resale) by switching to electric autos. The media in their...
Actually GM thinks that all of America still is the same absent minded rubes that believed all of the advertising in the 1950's. And what they do in Chicago...

As the price of gas diminishes the visibility of Electric and plug-in hybrid cars drops. This will, of course, give GM cover to drop its supposed newfound...
Cheaper prices for gas-guzzlers directly transfers CASH from the auto companies to the oil companies. The argument GM is making, when it dumps its Tahoe on...
Great insight Doug (as usual). For the record, not only will the drop in pump prices dissuade potential EV buyers, but there are the misinformed spreading...

I'd like to see the equation. A kg of H2 contains about 35 kWh, about the same as a gallon of gas; to get that H2 obviously takes more energy than 35 kWh,...
