Thought you might like to read this report on Lamar Alexander, fellow LEAF owner and newly minted moderate(?):

"Moreover, the Department of Energy estimates that we have enough idle power in our existing plants that if we plugged our automobiles in at night, we could electrify roughly 40 percent of our cars and trucks without building one new power plant."

Wow! With talk like that, I doubt this Republican will ever get invited on Fox news.
 
LAMAR! has always been an unconventional politician, contrast him to our community-organizer-in-chief. Its shocking how much he has aged, not that long ago he was a young man.

Plugging in my new LEAF will give me the patriotic pleasure of not sending money overseas to people who are trying to blow us up

Around the globe, our troops risk their lives and we spend billions of tax dollars defending U.S. interests and ensuring the free flow of oil to sustain the global economy. The sad irony, however, is that our men and women in uniform are too often battling terrorist groups that are funded by petro dollars unwittingly sent to foreign financiers by Americans every time they fill up their tanks.
