Except at my office until the end of the day!
Of course. Everyone's home should get power back immediately, but no one's office should until they've had a chance to enjoy not being at work.
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This version of the Volt article is paginated and has a different photo of the car on each page. It does look cool, but 40 miles on one charge and then 300 miles on electricity generated from gas...well, it's quasi all-electric, but leaves me confused. Is there an edge given by those 40 miles?

The idea is that most people drive less that 40 miles a day, so if that is the case, you won't need gasoline until you take a longer trip.
I'd like one because I could commute without using gas.

That is VERY cool.

I want an electric car. I wonder how much they're going to be?

I love that it's called the "Volt". .. like the Colt but electric.
Or maybe not.
Oh, maybe Ford will make a "Watt".

I doubt it will be affordable for most people (including me alas), too many batteries. I just hope it lives up to GM's press. I want this sort of vehicle to catch on so the prices can be driven down.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Our firm is converting from Lotus notes to Outlook, so today I have to go spend an hour and a half in a class about being converted.
I don't think there's enough coffee in the world.

Most people drive fewer than 40 miles each days. And IC engines are so inefficient that it takes less fossil fuel and fewer emissions to drive a mile on electricity than a mile on even the most efficient gasoline car even when the electricity is generate from fossil fuels. Plus if we want to we can completely decarbonize the grid and make it 95% plus wind, solar, hydro and geothermal.
