  1. Great piece by @doctorow in the Guardian http://bit.ly/7zwkbd about 20 hours ago from Tweetie
  2. @blalor Doesn't look done just yet... :) Happy Turkey Day! 6:42 AM Nov 26th from Tweetie in reply to blalor
  3. @1854 Wouldn't it make more sense to tell ministers to put classified papers in a briefcase..? What is wrong with these people? 7:14 AM Nov 25th from Tweetie in reply to 1854
  4. @evchels Does Volt engine only charge battery, not drive wheels? Been looking at PIA.org sad how few are on sale and how many are 'concepts' 10:12 AM Nov 24th from Tweetie in reply to evchels
  5. @evchels But is there any tech reason why Prius couldn't do same? Why not use battery until flat rather than cutting out at 30mph? 9:52 AM Nov 24th from Tweetie in reply to evchels
  6. @evchels Thanks for the explanation. I think Chevy is overdoing Volt hype. It's not 'revolutionary' drivetrain, it's different programming. 7:33 AM Nov 24th from Tweetie in reply to evchels
  7. @evchels And is the Volt even an EV? It seems more like a hybrid to me. Not that that would be a bad thing, but it's confusing. 6:41 AM Nov 24th from Tweetie in reply to evchels
  8. @evchels My biggest beef with EVs - over hype. Chevy Volt, Nissan Leaf, Tesla S. Yes, you've got my attention, but I can't actually buy one. 6:40 AM Nov 24th from Tweetie in reply to evchels
  9. @evchels @bobbyllew Physical controls can be found by touch w/out taking eyes off road, not w/ a touchscreen. But it's cool and I'd buy one! 5:58 PM Nov 23rd from Tweetie in reply to evchels
  10. @evchels @bobbyllew Wouldn't solar AC be more use in a full EV, especially one with a glass roof! Not sure that a touchscreen is good either 5:56 PM Nov 23rd from Tweetie in reply to evchels
  11. @bobbyllew Thanks! An answer and a #carpool plug in one..! Bargain. :) 10:37 AM Nov 23rd from Tweetie in reply to bobbyllew
  12. @evchels @bobbyllew I'd buy a Tesla S tomorrow if I could, but why is roof glass, not solar panels? Should run a/c on it's own when parked! 10:36 AM Nov 23rd from Tweetie in reply to evchels
  13. @evchels @bobbyllew I also realize that 140 char isn't enough to reply? Can you point to web resourses with answers? Thanks. 10:33 AM Nov 23rd from Tweetie in reply to evchels
  14. @evchels @bobbyllew What's in it for auto makers to keep EV's off the roads? I can see why oil co's lose out but why does that matter? 10:31 AM Nov 23rd from Tweetie in reply to evchels
  15. @bobbyllew People like idea of hydrogen because it's most like what they do now. That's obviously why the oil companies like it too..! 5:46 AM Nov 23rd from Tweetie in reply to bobbyllew
  16. @bobbyllew Don't want to add to tweet overload, but forums are closed to new members, so there's really no other option to join the debate. 5:45 AM Nov 23rd from Tweetie in reply to bobbyllew
  17. @bobbyllew Can't see Season 14 in US yet, but according to Wikipedia, they built an electric car last week. I assume it didn't end well..! 2:11 PM Nov 22nd from Tweetie in reply to bobbyllew
  18. @bobbyllew Agree that TG no longer tests relevant cars to you & me, but how are the petro-dollar funded? Your license fee funds it, no? 2:09 PM Nov 22nd from Tweetie in reply to bobbyllew
  19. @amandapalmer Don't get that. Why start following someone you don't care much about? Easy enough to scroll past excessive tweets! Rock on! 8:18 PM Nov 21st from Tweetie in reply to amandapalmer
  20. @birdchick Never knew that... I always thought they wanted to make the kill. We don't see many in MA..! We do have a red-tailed hawk though. 2:42 PM Nov 21st from Tweetie in reply to birdchick
