Let’s say you are spending $75 a week in your household on gas. That’s about $300 a month and we where wondering if you would take that money or most of it and finance a new car ? What I am getting at is if you where to buy a new GM Volt which is an electric car coming in 2010 and would cost 80 cents to charge for 60 miles of driving. This breaks down to about 25 cents a gallon, so you know have lets just say about $275 a month in surplus cash.

Would you be willing to take the $275 to finance this new car ? So in the end you are paying $300 a month but its just going to a different place, and you in fact would own the car in the end. The gas you burn is gone once you use it not a very good investment !

Imagine that everyone in the country could finance a new car purchase by new technology. Gas usage would go WAY down, and if everyone was to buy GM cars the US car industry would be saved ! Instead of $300 a month going to the middle east and Exxon you would sending it to Detroit and US jobs, cleaner enviroment if we can push utilities for zero carbon in 10 yrs like Gore wants OR wind power like the Pickens plan !

What do you think ?
