    We have oil here! Why the f don't we use it? I agree on the hybred thing but give away cars. Let me guess we can give away cars to everyone on their way to vote for a democrat next November. It's easy to give away other peoples money. Oil companies want to drill here. Oil companies give to republicans. I wonder if there is a connection

    This I totally agree with...

    This is a pipedream at best. Government interference is rarely, if ever, the best course of action to solve an economic issue.

    sorry the people want your oil for a price they determine. you act as if freedom is a good thing. i mean, people could just use less oil or drive less or whatever, maybe ride the subway, but they cant bothered. we dont care about you. my philosophy is that people shouldnt charge me anything. me wanty.

    Obama had opened the Atlantic to offshore drilling before BP ruined environmental responsibility for the entire oil industry.

    Fact? I shoot down phony facts here everyday. And I don't do anything blindly. Most of your complaints about Obama are easily dismantled and the rest I challenge just because it pisses you off.

    Rhetoric backed up by not a single example. As usual.

    Name one disqualification.

    Huh?

    So where do you think the power to make those "electric" cars comes from sparky? The $$ you save on gas will more than triple your electric bill. Oh wait it gets better. Where does the electicity come from? No, not the magic power fairy. It comes from coal fired plants mostly because the greenies won't let us build nuc plants. You libs are so caught up in the madness you can't see the forest for the trees.

    I'm not talking about doing away with oil completely. I'm talking about cutting back on it enough to where we could (united states) supply ourselves, and not kill something like 570 million barrels a day. If we all had solar powered, or electric cars, of course we would still need oil. Hell there would still be people who were car enthusiasts who would want to keep their cars, but what you do is you spike the price of gas to something like 10 dollars a gallon, and leave commuting, and travel for electric and solar powered cars.

    The maximum current specified is 32 amps (continuous) with a branch circuit breaker rated at 40 amps. Maximum continuous input power is specified as 7.68 kW.

    40amps is like hooking another A/C unit to your house to power/charge the car.

    The enviro nutjobs want us to believe that we are causing global warming. Bullcrap! The world has been through cycles of iceage and ages of warmer climate since the beginning of it's existance. Antartica used to be a temprate forest and at one time the world was covered in ice except at the equator. In one month last year a volcano in south america released more co2 in one month worth of erupting than mankind has released ever. This bullcrap global man made warming nonsence is the reason that the enviro nuts want to regulate through the EPA the use of fossil fuels in America. We have enough coal ,nat gas and oil to fuel our country if we go get it. If gas stays above four dollars the economy will fail again. The pelosi lovers will be blamed by the voters for the high prices and the progressives will be destroyed again at the ballot box. If we can again get a republican congress and a republican president to go with a conservative supreme court we can get our country drilling again and be self reliant energy wise. The four dollar a gallon and 9+ % unemployment may be the death nail of the progressive movement in America. At least I hope so.
