GM is sticking by its prediction that it will sell 10,000 electric/hybrid Chevy Volts by the end of the year. Only 5,000 had been through October. So where will all these Volts actually go? Mickey Kaus is launching Project Voltwatch to try and find out. They’ll undoubtedly do a better job than the DOJ did tracking the guns they sold to Mexican gangs. BTW, Obama’s DOE is expecting 120,000 to be sold next year (Volts, not guns.)

5000 volts at the bottom of the Marianas Trench would be a good start, each one occupied by a liberal politician and a Government motors worker....
I am unfortunately a EVSE Dealer and then we found out how dangerous these Charging Stations are and if someone was to hit or run one over there is a large chance someone will get electrocuted. We have went to the DOE....they stuck their head in the Sand....and then we went to a major Manufacturer and they say the stations are safe.....tis is true ...but there is an inherant danger if someone hits one of these or a vandal messes with it and a child or someone gets electrocuted....we cant even sell a charging station knowing what we know......Thanks DOE....GREAT JOB
They're going to need Smart cars to tow them to Mexico.
They'll be a clump of garbage during the 'BROWN OUTS'. People will have to install generators on their cars to recharge this worthless transportation and meanwhile thieves will steal the generators in the middle of the night. This Volt business is a complete disaster. Kinda like Solyndra.
Where will the volt go?
Easy Answer; about 60 miles from here
Only if it's downhill with a 40 mph tailwind.
The Government will have to purchase. Tax Payers will
They're gonna walk them to Mexico. The drug gangs need to economize.
$50 says Obama buys the other 5k.
For redistribution?
RHG! You changed your user name...luv your gravatar!
I thought that masked man looked familiar!
Yes, I had to start over fresh with a new profile to upload a gravatar. That's Vlad, my buddy.
Exactly the way it went with me. Then a couple days later, the original got approved and I can use either ID.
That is just odd...hmmm...maybe I should try and change my avi for a little while and see what happens...you know for the sake of science and all.
Changing the picture is no issue once you've got the account with the gravatar people. Thats a breeze. Establishing the account with them to use on this site with an ID you already have here can have a speed bump. Apparently it isn't the same sort of issue for everybody, but it happened to me and something similar is happening with RHG. Like I said, I can log in here with either ID now and it uses the same gravatar with either account. It gets used at a couple other sites I visit. The thumbs are interrelated so no double thumbing.
I just completed a change to my pic at gravatar. It had been a while so I'm fresh on the details. You get to select which email account you want to use a particular picture with. It was odd when I first signed up with them. I waited for their confirmation for a few hours. Nothing happened. So I went back and gave them email account information I already had but was not using here or with any Wordpress sites. That setup flew right through. So I came back here and signed in with the new info and voila! Then my other account came in clear, too.
RHG/FS...glad you got it worked out. ;)
Yeah... I did a quick pic change too, came through in a couple minutes...then switched back to Doc...(can't have too many people knowning what I look like).
The email account that was associated with my old account here, gravatar.com insisted already had a gravatar account, but I had no recollection of opening one, nor was there a way to retrieve the password. Since I couldn't change the email address on this account, I just used one of my other ones, and now I'm wearing my other hat, as a photographer, and I have a picture up. Cool.
weird
