Thom was incorrect regarding the Chevy Volt. He said that when the battery runs low, the gasoline engine comes on to charge the battery. This is not exactly true. When the gasoline engine fires up it begins to provide electricity to the electric motor which drives the wheels that moves the car down the road. Technically a small amount of this electricity is used to maintain the battery at a set point above total discharge to avoid damage to the battery. The battery is only fully charged with 110 or 220 volts AC using the plug-in electric port.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
Regarding Romney and Iran? You are reporting Romney wants ANOTHER war in the Middle East? THAT versus what Obama is doing in the Middle East? Thom, you lost a long time listener when you crowed your approval of the POTUS being a paid assassin with not a whif of due process.And you come on the air and talk about Romney? How can you talk for three hours every day and crow your approval of the Democrat Party wearing the mantle of paid assassin of US citizens? You have lost your way Thom, it's really tiring to hear your unmistakable, slobbering support for the Democrat party. Where in the Constitution does it allow Obama to assassinate his own people at his whim? By voting Dem. you are supporting a broken, preditory system. Shame on you.
