GM's green power trip

What difference does it make? At some point in time, technology has to move forward...and this is a move forward. A few psychotic hollywood stars will buy them, and eventually the price will start to drop. Then a couple of other car manufactures will duplicate the process and things will get cheaper and better. I just bought a DVD player for $19 (new). When they first came out, they were $700. You have to start somewhere.

Besides...I need these cars so there will be enough gas left in the future to drive my Cobra!

Ernie,

It sounds as if your solar there in Hawaii is a lot like here. Some of the big businesses have it and it seems to help them, but for the average home owner it just isn't practical yet. Our electric rates are some of the highest around, but the two solar companies I have talked to both told me the same thing. Plus I would have to pay a big permit charge, and hire an electrician to install everything, and at this time I don't think this city even is set up to install digital meters. So I will just stay with the conventional set up for my lifetime.
