America's Coal Car |
 |
This is the Chevy Volt, GM's electric car.
This
is the car that the US government has promoted and used
taxpayer money to produce.
Its base list price, MSRP,
is $40,280. |
|
The
Chevy Volt runs on electricity. It must be plugged in to
an electric outlet and charged for several hours before
it can be driven. It will then travel about 35 miles
before switching to its 4-cylinder gasoline engine. |
|
Where
does the electricity that charges the car's battery come
from? |
|
Approximately
56% of all electricity used in America is
coal-generated. |
|
Therefore, the Chevy Volt runs on coal that has been
converted to electricity that charges the battery in
this 3,800 pound vehicle... for the first 35 miles
anyway. |
|
And
Americans joke about the Yugo...? |
