[SusDet Announce] 100% Electric Vehicles

[Holy Paradox Batman]

Hi all -- With all the discussion about the Prius / Volt / [Insert
Compromise With Oil Companies Here], I ran across this and thought it might
please you as much as it did me.  Turns out you CAN buy an all-electric
vehicle (that goes hundreds of miles on a charge and over 100MPH, if you're
willing to spend a bit)!  Best of all, some of them are quite affordable --
about 5K more than they would be in gas-guzzling form, but at $4 a gallon,
that's still paying for itself in about a year!

Anyway, here's an article all about electric vehicles, how to find them and
own them and even pay people to turn your car into one:

There are lots of links at the bottom, as well, to places where you can look
for EVs (Electric Vehicles), but this place struck me as the most
comprehensive, and the most likely spot for a Regular Ol' Michigander to
possibly find the right car -- The EV Tradin' Post in Austin.

After I buy one of these, I'm driving it right up to Ford Headquarters and
asking them why they can't do what a bunch of mildly-creative
mechanically-talented Americans have been doing on their own all this time!
(And that's ignoring Johnathan Goodwin, ahem:

--sorry about the link to my site; my writeup was just the easiest article
for me to find...there's links to better ones in the post itself.)

Peace everyone,
