As much as plug in cars sounds cool.  The power company in California 
can't even keep up with current demands without rolling blackouts.  How 
will they be able to keep up when 30 millions cars need charging as 
well?  At some point there needs to be a back lash against the 
sustainability turds (who have no idea what is sustainable) and get us 
moving towards energy independence in a way which raises our standard of 
living instead of lowering it.  I have tried riding the bus and it sucks.
