Going electric you won’t decrease Air Pollution because, 50 % of the electricity is produced by burning COAL. By the way a Jetta Diesel, TDI for $23000 makes 40MPG. With a full tank of Chevy Volt, driving non-stop, you make 37MPG, plus $3 or more, the price of electricity you charged 16.0-kW-hr lithium-ion, the hefty $10000 of the 750-pound battery pack.
Using Chevy Volt, in the Electric Mode Only, Charging and Discharging the battery pack every day, is going to cost you $1000 in electricity, plus $3000 in the battery amortization, with a TOTAL of $4000 per year.

]]> Comment on Blaming Capitalism for Corporatism by maggie http://freedomschool.org/2012/02/01/blaming-capitalism-for-corporatism/#comment-1111 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:36:48 +0000 http://freedomschool.org/?p=3077#comment-1111 I appreciate the distinction between corporatism and capitalism that this essayist makes. I’ve been concerned about the link between fascism and corporatism and our country’s move towards corporatism. I am very uncomfortable with the legislation that gave corporations “personhood” and the ability to secretly “buy and own” our politicians. I know that many Republicans see this as a boon to the reelection of their candidates but I see it as further evidence that individualism is losing out to corporatism/fascism. Quite obviously, the corporations will hedge their bet and pour campaign contributions into the coffers of candidates in both parties, assuring that legislation will “go their way”.
