India getting in on the action

This bodes well. Indian companies are starting to explore alternative fuel options for passenger and commercial vehicles. Now that demand for vehicles is increasing in India and other parts of Asia, starting with low emission vehicles that aren't dependent on petroleum can go a long way to protect the environment and reduce the need for oil. If the mindset starts with alt.fuel vehicles there won't be difficulty transitioning to alternatives, which has proven so difficult for Americans and others.

GM to begin testing Volt electric car by spring

From Yahoo. It looks like GM might actually be producing this vehicle instead of shelving it like so many others. I'd love to get my hands on a Volt for testing, which starts next spring. Short of that, hopefully I'll have the change in my pockets to buy one when they come available in 2010. I think GM can make a lot of money on these, especially if gas prices increase as people are predicting.
