Hey all greens! Do your duty! Get out there and buy a Volt darn it! What are you waiting for? I thought you all wanted your electric car powered by wind farms -- yet I see you are not putting your money where your mouths are! Calling all greens! Calling all greens!
Peruse Chevrolet's February sales release, and you'll notice one number that's blatantly missing: the number of Chevy Volts sold. The number – a very modest 281 – is available in the company's detailed data (PDF), but it certainly isn't something that GM wants to highlight, apparently. Keeping the number quiet is a bit understandable, since it's lower than the 321 that Chevy sold in January. Nissan doesn't have anything to brag about here, either (and it didn't avoiding any mention of the Leaf sales in its press release). Why? Well, back in January, the company sold 87 Leafs. In February? Just 67. Where does that leave us? Well, here's the big scorecard for all sales of these vehicles thus far: * Volt: 928 * Leaf: 173

This can be solved lickety-split.
Obama just needs to write a Green Car bill and present it to Congress. The bill would mandate that everyone buy a Leaf or Volt. If you don't buy one, you go to jail.
It was okay for healthcare, why not for cars too?

I don't think it's going to cost $10k for charge station, more like $3k.
