Hmm - it won't fit in 3 years using the same logic!

Now wait a minute there. It'll very likely have been sub-contracted so add in a mark-up and I suggest 30 cents is far more realistic - please!

Look on the bright side, they could have built it already standing up and THEN made us pay to lay it down.

Um.....I'll get my hat............

Touched with the +20 damage staff of fabrication, I dare suggest!

"America needs to get back to making more reliable, efficient, vehicles[....]"

That implies that you did indeed once make such vehicles. I propose that this is a great untruth SIR!

Which you pay with the huge savings you make from having got rid of your gas guzzler!

Not if you live outside of the US!

Why do people still get fixated about the source of the electricity to such a degree. I accept that coal is nowhere clean enough but at least by moving the CO2 problem into a smaller "source" (by number of such stations etc.) the economy of scales + global political pressure will have a better chance of tackling the problem.

Contrast that with the normal challenge of trying to get your average member of the public to change anything they don't understand?

I love my cars, but I for one accept the need to embrace cleaner technology EVEN if it's not initially a perfect solution. Better is better.

It may not have wheels, but if my 4 slot monster manages to travel half the kitchen every time it ejects 4 cremated briquettes from itself!

Like all mechnical devices, Cars lose a degree of thier efficiency over time, so technically it won't quite do the same MPG over it's running lifetime.
