    I think a lot of people could see that's where he was going even before he was elected.

    I still can't believe he was elected.

    Might be because I'm an electrical engineer...but I'm actually hoping more 'electric' cars come out. The power those things can make is ridiculous. Obviously, the prius wasted this concept, but the power is instant. Granted, the technology is still WAY too expensive, but the gasoline engine hasn't come very far in the last 50 years.
    blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum

    Yeah I hope no more electric cars come out since I work in the Oil patch. Needless to say there are thousands of products that rely on pertrolmum. Electric cars cant smell like VP race fuel. Arc flash is bad. Give me Dino Juice.

    God created turbo lag so nitrous trucks could have a chance.

    not to mention the electric car is a step backward in tehcnology, lets see when was the last time we tried the electric car and it failed? oh the 80's with the ev1, then before that? oh yeah thats right the begining of the 1900's and do you still see any electric cars running around new york? nope did think so, do you know why? Because im not about to stand at a fill station for 6 bloody hours waiting on my car to "fill up", people cant seam to wrap their head around that, its a step backwards not to mention your still burrning oil or coal to make that car go. its like e85 it takes a gallon of fuel to make a gallon of e85, yeah that makes a whole lot of since. Electric cars, yeah thats a dumb ass idea....

    Would hydrogen cars be better? Fillup is about as fast as a normal car, and you can make many horsepowerz with it. Better yet, we can all run on plutonium and blaze by everyone with 1.21 gigawatts of whoopass!!!
    GET OUT OF HERE WITH THAT RICER MATH!
