I really hate quoting anything form Fox News, however...

Ford's electric car battery pack costs $12,000-$15,000 | Fox News

Today, I walked the 3 blocks to work, my daughter the 1 block to school. Gas use = zero; and I didn't need a GOV subsidy.

I apologize in advance if I seem harsh, I do not mean to be. However, I think that we tend to look for little fixes to reduce our dependency on energy when the elephant in the room is totally overlooked -- a unsustainable living arrangement.

Cities/ small town communities became popular for a reason. We have to remember why and work to get back there. We need to live in walkable communities where we can go to school, work & shop w/o the tyranny of the automobile.

I lived in a City in Holland that banned cars in the 1970's. everyone walks, takes public transit or rides bikes -- it's great. No one is fat & unhealthy, & the quality of the air is superior. You meet interesting people on your walkabouts (AKA good looking babes).

We can do it to, if we wish to. We are amer-I-Can's.
