I wonder if this has anything to do with the Chevy Volt's anemic sales numbers:


In finding out the true cost of ownership, the Volt’s battery should be depreciated across the life of the battery as well.

The battery costs about $8,000 to replace and lasts- in principle- about eight years. According to snopes.com the Volt costs a 7 cents a mile to operate on all-electric (EV) versus all-gasoline power of about 11 cents per mile. But those calculations ignore the battery costs, which add another 10 cents per mile to the electric option for a total of 17 cents per mile.

I am sure once the American public overcomes its natural hatred of new technology sales will zoom through the roof, even if the government does not mandate the end of gasoline as a fuel

Snopes still has a page up, in testament to the AUTHENTICITY of Obozo's first release(s) of his birth certificate, ffs,

and with a little research, you'll see that the "answers" they give have an obvious slant.

Their credibility is NIL, imho ~ maybe even to the minus ...
