Monster-truck driver sees the light...
WASHINGTON — President Bush will call for a slash in U.S. gasoline consumption by up to 20 percent in the next 10 years as part of new energy proposals in his sixth State of the Union address Tuesday night.

He wants to do this in 10 years!? I guess H2 fuel cell car is out of the picture then....I wonder if he'll touch on transportation then. How else to reduce 20% in 10 years?
(interesting topic title though)

I would have to say that the car industry knew this speech was coming at least 6 months ago, or longer. I'd say GM knew of this ahead of time, and the Volt is one sign of that.
The bean-counters at the big-three have now been given a green-light to go green. Finally!

It looks like the Volt is a physically small system and could fit into a Cobalt and a Malibu (two cars that sell decently for GM). I'd buy a Volt-esque station wagon in a hearbeat.

Earthling, what makes you call our president a monster truck driver? I personally have never seen him in a monster truck, and our president would never be allowed to drive alone anyway, due to the secret service and all.

C'mon guys...That is far from being a Monster Truck. It is nothing more than a standard farm truck. Maybe you should do some more research on what makes a monster truck different from a regular truck.
F-150...1/2 ton truck
F-250...3/4 ton truck
F-350...1 ton truck
According to your methods, you are saying that a Dodge Ram 2500, Ford F-250, or Chevy Silverado 2500 are all Monster Trucks. These are just common 3/4 ton trucks.

Any gas-hog truck that gets less than 20 mpg is a "monster truck."
Some people need trucks for their work, but the sad fact is that most gas-hog trucks are driven by people who favor the macho image of large trucks, and the environment and gas-hoggery be ****ed.
