    <description><![CDATA[<h4>Having just hibernated for half a month in freezing Minnesota&#8230;</h4>
<p><a href="http://gas2.org/files/2009/01/snowplow.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1531" src="http://go635254.s3.amazonaws.com/gas2/files/2009/01/snowplow.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="369" /></a></p>
<h4>..I was easily swayed by <a title="7 Reasons Why Liquid &#38; Gas Fuels are Here for the Long Haul" href="http://gas2.org/2008/12/29/7-reasons-why-liquid-and-gas-fuels-are-here-for-the-long-haul/" target="_blank">Nick</a> and <a title="With no major drawbacks, compressed natural gas is clearly the best performing cold weather alt-fuel. CNG is kept in a gaseous state (it is mostly methane) and under significant pressure; even in the cold it has no problems igniting." href="http://gas2.org/2008/12/22/biodiesel-natural-gas-electric-cars-five-alternative-fuels-rated-for-cold-weather-performance/" target="_blank">Sasha&#8217;s</a> recent arguments that those treehuggers unfortunate enough to live in such inclement climes should just give up altogether on <a href="http://gas2.org/2008/04/23/affordable-electric-cars-coming-to-us-in-2009/">electric cars</a> and settle for the alternative vehicles powered by liquid compressed natural gas that Pickens pushes in his <a title="Pickens Plan" href="http://gas2.org/2008/11/15/optimistic-t-boone-pickens-expects-obama-administration-to-implement-pickens-plan/" target="_blank">plan.</a></h4>
<p>(In my weakened state I could almost understand that <em>security blanket</em> SUV mentality because it is so frightening being at the mercy of such a climate. You want the sense of a great deal of protection against being stranded and even dieing of exposure to the elements. Maybe batteries <em>are</em> weak in cold climates?)</p>
<p><strong><em>But then</em></strong> I saw this electric car do this sturdy little trick on the You Tubes: George Clooney&#8217;s tiny Tango EV really just charges right out of the garage and shovels the snow right out of its way!</p>
