Al, No alternative comprehensive energy solution yet and you say "needless urgency" .... I was talking about 1977. You think America would have emerged as the only superpower in the world if we needlessly crippled our economy the way Carter wanted to? Tenchusatsu

Chevy Volt posts best sales month ever in September-continues to thump Nissan Leaf By Patrick Rall on Thu, 10/04/2012 - 18:45 The Chevrolet Volt had its best month ever in September 2012 and for the 8th straight month the electric Chevy has badly outsold the Nissan Leaf - this time by a margin of almost 3 to 1 as the Japanese competition continues to try to fill the preorders made more than 3 years ago. The good news for Nissan Motors was that in September 2012, they managed to deliver more versions of their Leaf electric vehicle than they have in any other month this year. The bad news for Nissan was that the Chevrolet Volt also posted its best month of the year so the Leaf didn’t gain any ground on the American EV even in what proved to be a strong month for the Leaf. In September 2012, General Motors sold 2,851 examples of the Chevrolet Volt to set a new monthly sales record for both itself and the electric vehicle segment in the US. The Volt beat its previous best sales month of August 2012 by just 20 units but in September 2012 GM sold more than 294% more Volts than they did for the same month in 2011 when they sold just 723 Volt electric vehicles. This new record best is more than a thousand units higher than any month in Volt sales with the exception of August and February 2012. In short, September 2012 was a very good month for the Volt.
