As a conservative myself and
As a conservative myself and a huge fan of the Volt (my wife - also a conservative - and I both own Volts), I have always thought there's a lot here conservatives should like. The engineering and innovation that goes into EV's (especially the Volt), the ability to wean ourselves of dependence on foreign energy sources, and the fact that the tax credit allows those of us who buy new Volts to keep more of our own money. We are environmentally conscious conservatives and definitely appreciate that aspect of these cars, but it was not a primary motivator for us to buy them.
