The Leaf is going to cream the Volt IMO and opens the door to true electric vehicles.

But the reality is electrics won't get it; not right now. It could be decades. Natural Gas is the absolute most sensible option.

The Left -- including Obama -- has its panties in a wad about fracking and is foolishly looking past CNG, not understanding that the technology doesn't exist for straight electrics to replace foreign oil at this time.

The Leaf will be the first successful electric vehicle IMO. But the head of Nissan has stated that by 2020 at most 1% of our vehicles will be straight electrics. He is overestimating it.

If Obama would provide funding for about 200 CNG refueling stations across the country it would jumpstart the CNG business which would being using our energy policy to solve major issues (notably, dependence on foreign oil and the economic downside thereof). But he is confused and overwhelmed and inexperienced and incompetent. So we have no energy policy.
