A lithium ion battery pack powers the car and a three-cylinder engine can recharge the batteries, extending the vehicle's driving range up to 640 miles. The engine also runs on E85 ethanol, getting fuel economy up to 150 miles per gallon - and conceivably eliminating the need for gasoline almost entirely. All in all, it would be a quantum leap over GM's last electric car, the EV1, and GM wasn't shy about saying so. "A GM electric car is an inconvenient...

The carbon molecule and combusting it is the only way we've figured out to economically move people and generate power. Diversity of supply is the answer. That means nuclear energy and investing in clean coal technology...
