Lol, Wise, it's truly not a matter of whether or not it's GOING to work. According to the article, it HAS worked, and IS working. They've been test-driving it, you know. They say that they can't release the car until the fueling-stations are set, so don't worry--they're taking everything into consideration. Leave it to them, lol they're the ones that have already designed the car and actually built two million dollar prototypes-- I'll assume they know what they're doing. If not, they'll do what any other company does: Cancel the scheduled release, put more research into it, and then bring it back when it's better.
Someone mentioned an electric car they had before. I saw it on the news-- called the Tango or something. The thing was amazing, 0-60 in about 4 seconds. Trouble was, the batteries were very expensive to make, therefore they would be very expensive to sell, and technology that hybrid cars use today hadn't been perfected yet, creating the question of "How do I charge this thing?" to come into play. I don't know why, now that newer technology is here, they haven't tried to restore the hopes of this vehicle, but ehh, who knows.
Nothing's wrong with being an environmentalist. We're all living on a giant rock that's hurtling around a huge ball of fire at thousands upon thousands of miles per hour in an environment that contains absolutely no breathable oxygen and no gravity whatsoever. Heh, for that reason alone, I'm surprised EVERYONE isn't an environmentalist. Personally, I don't like people messing up the place. It makes things look nasty, SMELL nasty, and duh, it damages the giant rock we're living on that's hurtling around a huge ball of fire at thousands upon thousands of miles per hour in an environment that contains absolutely no breathable oxygen and no gravity whatsoever. I'm more than glad that SOMEONE is finally creating a vehicle that won't blast a huge black cloud all over the place and clog up your car's AC filter. Go Earth. Go Chevy. Regardless of whether or not it "works."
