The Volt and Leaf are Kiiiiinda Super Pricey

A lot of depressing environmental news today!

GM's Volt was announced to cost $41K and Nissan's Leaf is to be $36K when released later this year. Yikes! Remember when everyone was pissed that the Prius cost $20K? Even with the $7K tax break the government is offering that's a lot of dough. And not the delicious doughnut kind, either.

Well, I certainly hope there are enough eco/ego-conscious celebrities out there who'll buy these cars so that in a few years they'll be mass-manufactured enough to bring the price down.

Then again, I also hope that in a few years we'll be getting most of the electricity to run those cars from sustainable sources and that's not exactly likely to happen so...

Well... We tried, am I right?
