		<description><![CDATA[I already drive a solar powered car! I have a Volt and I power it with solar panels on my house. ( I live off the grid - no tie in here)  I added 9 panels to my system to power the Volt. That cost me $7k. I was spending over $2500 a year on gas before so that means in less than 3 years it pays for itself and my driving is not only emission free but cost free too! Solar powered cars are the future AND the present!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s fortunate that you live in a sunny climate.  This idea would be less practical in say, Portland Oregon.  For myself I plan on buying the Chevy Volt and charging it from my self-installed 4.5KW solar array.

Jay Leno has has his Volt for nearly a year and he has driven 10,000 miles with the same gas in the tank that was in it when he drove off the dealer&#039;s lot.  SO he&#039;s most of the way there - just needs to add that solar array.]]></description>
