GET THE DENOMINATOR TO ZERO.

Looks interesting, thanks for sharing!

Good show, I thought.

I think I'm actually in it, too. Heh, in the background of the Volt interview in the later part of the show, I'm on the far side of the Volt, or at least I think it's me. It looks like me, and is wearing what I wore that day.

I also saw Hobbit at the Alt Wheels, you can see his open Prius earlier, but later you can clearly see him standing next to his Prius talking to someone.

Anyway, I thought it was a good show, the only thing I was surprised they didn't mention was the official PHEV work, Ford PHEV FEH and Toyotas PHEV Prius, or anything on companies like Hymotion, Hybrids Plus!, etc. who do conversions of HEV's to PHEV's. Anyway, thought it was a good show.

I missed it thinking it was on at 9 rather than 8. [D*mn you Osama!]

It's being rebroadcast at 1AM Saturday (tonight, an hour after midnight) on KCTS (Seattle PBS). Check your local listings.

However, I did catch a GREAT Frontline at 9. Hot Politics. I highly recommend it.

Chevy Volt or Li-ion PHEV Prius?

Hmmm. What color choices are available?

For those of you who have fast internet connections, you can watch it online for now:

I just finished watching it online. I thought it was very interesting. I agree with one of the brothers....who the heck NEEDS 500 HP?

No one NEEDS 500 HP, but no one needs chocolate either. But both are an awful lot of fun. I prefer to live in a place where there are more choices, not fewer. And I really prefer to live in a place where people with differing values from mine do not get to decide how I should live.

Who said they wanted to decide how you live or eliminate your choices? Sounds like someone's paranoid. I just asked why someone needs 500HP. It's not like you can legally utilize it's full potential (in a car that is). If you could that would be cool, but you can't.

Ever hear of a drag strip?

Great show ! (500 HP & chocolate, ya'll crack me up) Isn't the Prius QUICK off the line (electric motor = lots of torque @ low RPM) ?

signed don't own one (yet)
