The Chevy Volt won “Car of the Year” in the U.S. and Europe. GM finally did something right. True, there’s a $7500 tax credit — but that was enacted during the Bush administration. I wonder if you can find one right-wing commentator who has a good word to say about any hybrid or electric car.

If by “support” you mean allowing the free market work out how to produce the best, most affordable, and most useful electric car, then I think there is a ton of “right wing” support for electric cars. If by “support” you mean giving away taxpayer dollars to auto companies and the relative handful of people for whom the current batch of electric cars actually make practical sense, then there is much less “support”…of course, that’s a pretty narrow and rather useless way to define “support,” at least from the perspective of the average person’s use of the word.

If there was any right-wing support for electric cars, your argument might have some credibility.

“Conservative environmental thinking”, is what you would call an oxymoron.
