That's good news: General Motors will definitely produce an electric car, as of 2010 or so. Lithium battery driven, with a back-up petrol engine for loading the battery if you travel more than some 60 miles or so, and can't fill her up on the mains.
Yes, I know: we use coal to produce the electricity to drive the car. Still, it's a first step towards a new technology, which will make the energy system which is now based on fossil fuels obsolete, and replace it by eg hydrogen, which can be produced by using the sunlight.
We HAVE to make the switch, the atmosphere not only is the air which we all breathe, but it's also the earth's coat. The coat is getting "too thick", causing sweat on our foreheads.
Also future generations will think of us as so stupid!
