I have been "waiting and waiting" for the production of electric cars which are affordable and have been watching General Motors (Stock Symbol > GM) new Chevy Volt with a view to eventually buy one. I have been fascinated by the concept of electric cars since I was very young, as well as solar power. I remember the late 70's when I was a boy and sitting for what seemed like hours (and actually were) to fill up at the gas station during the Iranian Hostage Crisis. I also had the "pleasure" of Hurricane Katrina where it took me 4 hours (yes, 4 hours) waiting in a line to get a tank of gasoline. I also like the electric car for two other important reasons, the first is it lowers our dependence on foreign oil supplies and the second is it helps the environment in general. This is a win-win scenario for everyone and although the price of a Chevy Volt is approx. $40,280, to me it is worth it especially as the price of gasoline and the price of a barrel of oil go HIGHER and HIGHER every passing day. I can envision all the people who now have solar panels on their homes "filling up" their Chevy Volt, just by plugging it into their electric socket. I hope to do the same. Why should I give my money to the enemies of America and her Freedoms every single time I gas up my car ? Why ? When I can use the unlimited supply of FREE Solar Power to do the same thing ? I know what your thinking > the car costs $40,280 and a home solar array (panels, hook up to the grid etc.) will cost a few thousand more BUT once that expense is taken into account the car will start to pay itself off immediately. It is actually a better "deal" than buying a $40,000 car and watching it deteriorate and lose value the second you drive it off the car lot. I am saving my pennies and dimes, LOL LOL and have an eye out for a new Chevy Volt. Do you really think the price of oil wont sky rocket AGAIN ? Do you really think we will have $2 to $3 a gallon gasoline forever ? Do you think our Middle East oil supply is safe and secure ? I don't and that is why I am buying a new Chevy Volt !******************************************************************************
