I never said it wasn't the blind leading the blind. The point is the media is not reporting it is making the news. No mental ambiguity on my part at all.

Let's us not forget no one here has proved a house fire was caused by a Chevy Volt. According to http://www.nfpa.org/itemDetail.asp?categoryID=186... In 2010, there were 1,331,500 fires reported in the United States. These fires caused 3,12 s, 17,720 civilian injuries, and $11.6 billion in property damage. 482,000 were structure fires, causing 2,755 civilian deaths, 15,420 civilian injuries, and $9.7 billion in property damage. 215,500 were vehicle fires, causing 310 civilian fire deaths, 1,590 civilian fire injuries, and $1.4 billion in property damage. 634,000 were outside and other fires, causing 55 civilian fire deaths, 710 civilian fire injuries, and $501 million in property damage. Electrical is in the top ten causes.

We went into Afganistan to retaliate. We went into Iraq to protect our oil interests. No blameing of America going on at all its survival of the fittest we need oil therefore we fight for it and our allies. No different then Libia recently, but we could care less about Syria. Heck They have no oil. Drill and frack away, the Volt does use gas too remember.

It's 25-50miles. In america (with no loss of american servicemen and woman lives). Both the Volt and the tax credit were created under Bush.

Mr. Motley, How about siting an article to prove your points not written by yourself. Find one official statement where the Volt was definitely declared a cause for the house fire. http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1068564_fire-... Do you also like subsidizing the gasoline in your car with the lives of of American servicemen and women. For me ill chose the $7500 per Volt for the first 200000 units sold over 1 life lost.

22% were sold as fleet sales. Not much differently than PC's when new where universities and major corporations bought them first. Now im sure you have one in your pocket.

So to you its better for the company that you feel you are a part owner of to sell something at a loss. As if that will make things better. How much did any new technology cost, PC's? Yet I bet you have one in your pocket right now.

By using your logic any person overloading a house circuit with either an electric dryer, waterheater, toaster oven, hairdryer, etc. Would declare those items bad for society. Because that never happens, right? And, yes the Volt was cleared in all 3 instances. As if a gasoline powered car never set a house on fire. Because that never happens either, right?
