Steve - it depends on how the electricity is generated. If nuclear or wind/wave/solar is used then the pollution is much less. Also any pollution is centralized at power stations which can be cleasne dup rather than out of individual exhausts spewing out on the streets. I am sure the engine will be made more economical over time. You have to start somewhere. The ... Read More...

Hi All, I also read about the Volt but the article I first got my eyes on was in the Automotive section of the NYT (online edition anyway). I was really interested in the article since I think eschewing our dependence away from fossil fuels is a very smart decision.
