    It'll use less energy cause it'll last 1,000,000 miles lol.


    Err.. sell Hummer to China? Guess i'm not surprised. It's not the first time GM made a bad decision <cough> battery.

    Now, THAT's a hybrid for every Senator.

    On the other hand, the DC grid probably wouldn't be able to handle the load when all the lawmakers plug theirs in at night to recharge! :D

    <no noisemaker yet apparently, it was so quiet Orrin couldn't even tell it was already started!!!>

    Gawd, just when you'd think there was no more money (freshly printed) to throw at lost causes ... the folks on Capitol Hill proved otherwise. Just after they Feds claim "no more money for the Volt" ... because it's too expensive ... they throw Hummers at us. How our county continues to plod along, I'll never know.

    The company, working with FEV Inc. and with some support from General Motors, says its H3 is more efficient than a Toyota Prius and can generate enough electricity to power six homes.
