Fred says, "Martha! Let's get us one of them new fangled 'lektric cars!"

Old Fred then says, "Then mebbe we should invest in stock in some company thet makes 'stension cords. "

Heard the latest? Ontario plans some kind of grant of up to $10,000 for folks who purchase an electric auto.

Better yet Fred, invest in security devices for external electrical outlets. heh...

Well, you know I'm all for anything even remotely positive regarding the development and use of electric vehicles, but I have a question. Considering the current state of supply and demand of electricity, brown outs and all that, how exactly is this all going to work?

Shouldn't we be thinking about buying another horse or two before going whole hog with the cart.....er car?

    Maybe McGuinty sees himself as something of a Jean Luc Picard of Star Trek fame and thinks all that's necessary is to say, "make it so"..

    Another Homer moment. "Doh!"
