Krauthammer is not, in my view, a serious journalist, but rather is a propagandist. They are very different.

Bob, I love my Volt, #4142.
Thanks!

Yeah, that seems to have been the top agenda since Day 1.

Dear Jach — I figures out a long time ago that Krauthammer cannot be trusted due to his ridiculous assertions about fossil fuel availability and about climate change. Glad you’ve joined the rest of us.

Glad I didn’t see it.

This piece was in response to an article just last weekend — it really seems to have got him down. I hope he goes with this a bit further.

He was still firmly in denial mode a few weeks ago as the token Republican on Bill Maher’s show, spouting some of the usual misinformation.

More good Lutz.

“Bob Lutz, a UC Berkeley business school graduate who championed the Volt when he was vice chairman at GM, wrote in his blog, “the loony right has its jaws sunk into the Volt with all the stupid determination of a terrier who has locked his teeth into the mailman’s butt. And with the same result: painful, but without any useful purpose.””

Why do right-wingers hate American companies?

Then some other tidbits…

“Jesse Toprak, vice president of market intelligence for TrueCar.com, a vehicle pricing and research site, said he lives in Tarzana (Los Angeles County) and commutes about 17 miles to his office in Santa Monica.

He test drove a Volt for one week. “Did not use a drop of gas,” Toprak said. “Charged it every night. Normally I would spend about $80 on gas every week.” He said it cost him $1 a day to charge the Volt, using night-time electricity pricing. That’s $30 a month, versus $320 for gasoline.”

…

“Toprak of Truecar.com said the 18,000 electric cars sold in the United States last year, mostly the Volt and the Nissan Leaf, make up just one-tenth of 1 percent of new car sales.

Still, electric cars are outperforming the first-year introduction of hybrids, said Roland Hwang, the San Francisco-based transportation program director for the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group.

“If the electric vehicle market is dead, then why did Toyota start to deliver a plug-in Prius a week and a half ago?” Hwang said. “Why will Ford this year enter the market with a pure battery Ford Focus? Honda is coming to market with a pure battery Fit subcompact. BMW’s Active E is an electric version of their One series and it’s sold out here in California.””

Bob I bought a Chevy Volt and I want to thank you for a fantastic car. It’s worth it to me just to stop supporting Middle East dictators, and wars for oil. Its worth it to me to stop dumping CO2 into the air from my tailpipe (I’m getting the solar panels on the house soon). Last month I drove 292 miles on electric and 5 miles on gas! With the rising price of gas going higher, it could make this car a very hot seller. GM has gone a long way to repair its image from the days of the EV1.
