Why GM is not NOW a major investor in solar/wind/thermal/wave/nuke power is beyond me. Oil is failing them and its not going to get better without a green overhaul fast! Why wait for the big energy slugs to build infrastructure when they could simply charge more for the obvious demand that is going to be generated?
If they (GM) were more proactive, they could package a seperate product (think solar lease) into the volt sale.. That way the strain is reduced on the grid (solar panels or wind props), and the consumer gets a hedge on power price inflation.
Obviously this plan is only solving local travel, but as contracts are inked with big corps, that allow more panels/prop and plug stations to be built...
Think anywhere you shop, or have fun as being a "gas" station...Stadiums, Disnyland, parking garages, schools, theatres... yadayadayada.. They (land owners) work out a fee to recoup station expenses and pocket profit in $$ - carbon credits, and are price controlled within reason to protect the consumers from gouging.
The only difference is which energy source is used for which climate the cars are sold. Those in Apartments would need to look for green complexes.
