9/12 Taxpayer March On Washington, DC

(Gloriously Dark) America was definitely awake on September 12th as they marched down Pennsylvania Ave to the Capital. [...] The sign with Martin Luther King, Jr spoke volumes to me. I keep hearing we are racist. But I voted for content of character, not color of skin. [A sign reads], “He had a dream, We got a nightmare” That about sums it up for me. MLK would have been marching with us, because he looked on the inside, not the outside. As one speaker said, 97% of the black population voted for Obama. But 1/2 of the white population split their vote. Now you tell me, who voted because of skin color?

Barack Hussein Obama, June 4, 2008

~

In 2008 during one of his infamous ‘hope and change‘ speeches, the newb conveniently forgot to mention a few of his economy crushing action items – like dependance on foreign oil – thereby eliminating the need to reveal an accurate chart such as this one, indicating where gas prices would be in the year 2012:

Yup. When Obama took office the average US gas price was just $1.84 per gallon. Brian L. Milne of Telvent DTN recently stated that by June, the U.S. average will be above $4 per gallon. And that in some parts of the country, gas would rise above $5 per gallon.

Who cares! What we struggling Americans are dying to know is, ‘Where’s Queen Michelle going on her next vacation?’

Michelle Obama In Aspen For Ski Vacation

(Aspen Daily) First Lady Michelle Obama arrived in Aspen on Friday afternoon and is here with her daughters for a ski vacation.

Few details about her trip were available. Sources said she is staying at the home of Jim and Paula Crown, owners of the Aspen Skiing Co. She is reportedly skiing at Buttermilk today, where the Crowns, of Chicago, own a home on the Tiehack side.

Several people have known about the “low-key” vacation, with the Secret Service in town for the past few days scoping out places for the family to relax and enjoy what the resort has to offer.

Pitkin County Sheriff Joe DiSalvo confirmed that he has met with the Secret Service and has loaned seven deputies to help protect the first lady and her family.

[Pitkin County Democratic Pary Chair Blanca O’Leary] noted that there are more Democratic supporters locally than our neighbors to the east.

“I’m very happy she’s here and not at Vail because we have better ski mountains and there was a higher turnout for the president here,” O’Leary said. “I hope she comes back.”

FemiNazis: US Army Forced To Wear Fake Belly And Empathy Breasts To Better Understand Pregnant Troops’ Concerns

(Stars And Stripes) The Army is ordering its hardened combat veterans to wear fake breasts and empathy bellies so they can better understand how pregnant soldiers feel during physical training.

This week, 14 noncommissioned officers at Camp Zama took turns wearing the “pregnancy simulators” as they stretched, twisted and exercised during a three-day class that teaches them to serve as fitness instructors for pregnant soldiers and new mothers.

Army enlisted leaders all over the world are being ordered to take the Pregnancy Postpartum Physical Training Exercise Leaders Course, or PPPT, according to U.S. Army Medical Activity Japan health promotion educator Jana York.

Developed by the Army in 2008, the course includes aerobics classes, pool sessions and classroom studies on the physiology of pregnant women. The NCOs learn special exercises for pregnant women, who shouldn’t push themselves too hard or participate in high-impact activities such as snowboarding, bungee jumping or horse riding, York said.

During the training, each NCO must wear the pregnancy simulator for at least an hour.

New School Food Rules See Fruits And Veggies Piling Up In The Garbage

(Orlando Sentinel) The Eustis Elementary School lunch line is brimming with cups of broccoli, fresh strawberries, oranges and green applesauce topped with candy sprinkles.

Hungry kindergartners shuffle through, loading their foam plates with baked chicken, mashed potatoes and the produce while a lunch staffer warns them of the school district’s new policy: You don’t have to like the fruits or veggies, but you must take one.

At the lunch table, most students gnaw the chicken to the bone, but many veggies and festive applesauce cups end up untouched and destined for the garbage can.

This year, Lake County schoolchildren will throw away about $75,000 worth of uneaten fruits and vegetables, the result of a local rule intended to help them eat more healthful foods.

From Sad Hill News guest writer, Robert Fine:

‘The president heads West in his latest cross-country trawl for campaign cash, just as his approval ratings reached the crucial 50% barrier, as claimed by NY Times / CBS News in their ‘magic poll.’ The strengthening jobs market and quickening economic news have improved his standing in several key states the president will need to capture if he is to win reelection in November. According to NY Times / CBS News, prior signs of weakening jobs growth and worsening economic doldrums had simply been misinterpreted by the public, but were properly explained to people responding to their polls. Racist Mitt Romney and chid molester Rick Santorum trail at 48% and 42%, accordingly. Nazi war criminal Newt Gingrich trails at 29%.’

Chocolate rations are up!

Obama Rides West After Poll Boost

(AFP) President Barack Obama launched his latest cross-country trawl for campaign cash Wednesday and an effort to highlight the rebounding economy at an auspicious moment — as his approval rating hit 50 percent.

A New York Times/CBS News poll published on Wednesday provided the latest evidence that strengthening jobs growth and a quickening recovery are bolstering Obama’s prospects as he takes aim at November’s election.

While the news is not all good for Obama — his economic management gets low marks still from voters — the poll and other recent surveys suggest that prospective Republican challengers are less popular than the president.

The Times poll puts Obama in more comfortable political territory than he has enjoyed since before the 2010 mid-term congressional elections in which his Democratic Party was trounced by Republicans.

The survey pegged Obama’s job rating at exactly 50 percent — a key point, as history shows presidents at that level have a much higher change of reelection than those struggling to reach the plateau.

Obama reached the magic threshold nearly two weeks after the release of latest unemployment data which showed that the jobless rate dipped to 8.3 percent in January, the best mark since the start of his presidency.

Economic News Brightens Obama’s Re-Election Prospects

(Yahoo) President Barack Obama’s job approval rating has hit the 50-percent mark–an important reelection barometer–and he would beat any of the major Republican contenders for the White House if the vote were held today, according to a new CBS/New York Times public opinion poll that illustrates the political benefits of a steady stream of positive economic news.

In hypothetical match-ups, Obama bests Rick Santorum 49 percent to 41 percent, Mitt Romney 48 percent to 42 percent, Ron Paul 50 percent to 39 percent, and former House speaker Newt Gingrich 54 percent to 36 percent, according to the survey, which was conducted from Feb. 8 to Feb. 13. The margin of error was plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Public opinion polls are just a snapshot of the country’s mood, and Nov. 6 is a long way off. A recent report from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office sees unemployment staying above 8 percent, and potentially creeping up to around 9 percent by Election Day.

Under the command of Barack Hussein Obama it’s perfectly OK for Eric Holder and Janet Napolitano to knowingly move assault weapons back and forth across the US-Mexico border where hundreds, if not thousands have died as a result of their illegal and ‘consequence-free’ treasonous activity.

And as lowly serfs under our new feudal system that a majority of ‘Americans’ demanded back in 2008, we must understand and embrace Big Brother’s efforts to keep this nation safe, specifically from evil Amish types that are notorious for moving fresh milk across the Pennsylvania state line.

In Big Brother’s defense, a double-standard is a standard.

Stupid Amish. When will you learn to join forces with corrupt liberal Obama supporters like GM and Solyndra that affords unlimited use of taxpayer dollars to lobby for one’s right to produce worthless junk that nobody needs under the protection of bankruptcy?

Project Milkrunner: Feds Shut Down Amish Farm For Selling Fresh Milk

(Washington Times) The FDA won its two-year fight to shut down an Amish farmer who was selling fresh raw milk to eager consumers in the Washington, D.C., region after a judge this month banned Daniel Allgyer from selling his milk across state lines and he told his customers he would shut down his farm altogether.

The decision has enraged Mr. Allgyer’s supporters, some of whom have been buying from him for six years and say the government is interfering with their parental rights to feed their children.

But the Food and Drug Administration, which launched a full investigation complete with a 5 a.m. surprise inspection and a straw-purchase sting operation against Mr. Allgyer’s Rainbow Acres Farm, said unpasteurized milk is unsafe and it was exercising its due authority to stop sales of the milk from one state to another.

Adding to Mr. Allgyer’s troubles, Judge Lawrence F. Stengel said that if the farmer is found to violate the law again, he will have to pay the FDA’s costs for investigating and prosecuting him.

His customers are wary of talking publicly, fearing the FDA will come after them.

“I can’t believe in 2012 the federal government is raiding Amish farmers at gunpoint all over a basic human right to eat natural food,” said one of them, who asked not to be named but received weekly shipments of eggs, milk, honey and butter from Rainbow Acres, a farm near Lancaster, Pa. “In Maryland, they force taxpayers to pay for abortions, but God forbid we want the same milk our grandparents drank.”

The FDA, though, said the judge made the right call in halting Mr. Allgyer’s cross-border sales.

“Intrastate sale of raw milk is allowed in Pennsylvania, and Mr. Allgyer had previously received a warning letter advising him that interstate sale of raw milk for human consumption is illegal,” agency spokeswoman Siobhan DeLancey said.

~snip~

Fans of fresh milk, which they also call raw milk, attribute all kinds of health benefits to it, including better teeth and stronger immune systems. Raw milk is particularly popular among parents who want it for their children.

In a unique twist, the movement unites people on the left and the right who argue that the federal government has no business controlling what people choose to consume.

The Chevy Volt used to cost taxpayers $250k per vehicle to produce, but our cost is about to go up – way up!

Sure, America was just getting used to the financial floggings that forced us to pay $7,500 for every fire-starting Chevy Volt sold. But with sales as low as 281 units per month, ObamaGenius buried – that’s right, I said ‘buried‘ – in his 2013 budget the increase to $10,000 per Chevy Volt purchased.

Obama Hikes Subsidy To Wealthy Electric Car Buyers

(Daily Caller) The White House intends to boost government subsidies for wealthy buyers of the Chevy Volt and other new-technology vehicles — to $10,000 per buyer.

That mammoth subsidy would cost taxpayers $100 million each year if it is approved by Congress, presuming only 10,000 new-technology autos are sold each year.

But the administration wants to get 1 million new-tech autos on the road by 2015. The subsidy cost of that goal could reach $10 billion.

The planned giveaway will likely prompt populist protests from GOP legislators, but it will likely also will be welcomed by auto-industry workers in the critical swing state of Michigan.

That welcome is critical for President Barack Obama, who is touting his support for blue-collar manufacturing programs to help offset his low public approval ratings.

The new subsidy level represents a 33 percent jump from the current $7,500 government payout for each Volt buyer, even though the Volt’s buyers are already among the wealthiest Americans. It will be offered to buyers of any new-technology autos, including battery-powered autos and cars powered by natural gas, said a White House official.

The extra money for wealthy buyers will be borrowed funds, eventually paid off by future taxpayers in all income brackets.

~snip~

The extra subsidy is buried in President Barack Obama’s request for the 2013 budget, but was briefly described by White House economic chief Gene Sperling during a White House briefing today.

“We give consumers the incentive to buy these cars, he said, adding that the credit would be $10,000 per auto.

The budget document, titled “Investing in Our Future,” includes a goal of putting “One Million Advanced Technology Vehicles on the Road by 2015.”

To reach this goal, the budget “continues to support electric vehicle manufacturing and adoption in the United States through new consumer rebates, investments in R&D, and competitive programs to encourage investment in advanced vehicle infrastructure,” says the document.

Had Star Wars on the brain when I stumbled across this PETA news insanity.

Look. I’ve been to Sea World. As it is, Shamu lives better than most humans.

San Diego Judge Hears Sea World Killer Whale Slavery Case

(OrlandoSentinel) A federal judge for the first time in U.S. history heard arguments Monday in a case that could determine whether animals enjoy the same constitutional protection against slavery as human beings.

U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Miller called the hearing in San Diego after Sea World asked the court to dismiss a lawsuit filed by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals that names five orcas as plaintiffs in the case.

PETA claims the captured killer whales are treated like slaves for being forced to live in tanks and perform daily at its parks in San Diego and Orlando, Fla.

“This case is on the next frontier of civil rights,” said PETA’s attorney Jeffrey Kerr, representing the five orcas.

Sea World’s attorney Theodore Shaw called the lawsuit a waste of the court’s time and resources. He said it defies common sense and goes against 125 years of case law applied to the Constitution’s 13th amendment that prohibits slavery between humans.

“With all due respect, the court does not have the authority to even consider this question,” Shaw said, adding later: “Neither orcas nor any other animal were included in the ‘We the people’ … when the Constitution was adopted.”

Miller listened to both sides for an hour before announcing that he would take the case under advisement and issue his ruling at a later date. The judge raised doubts a court can allow animals to be plaintiffs in a lawsuit, and he questioned how far the implications of a favorable ruling could reach, pointing out the military’s use of dolphins and scientists’ experiments on whales in the wild.

Kerr acknowledged PETA faces an uphill battle but he said he was hopeful after Monday’s hearing.

“This is an historic day,” Kerr said. “For the first time in our nation’s history, a federal court heard arguments as to whether living, breathing, feeling beings have rights and can be enslaved simply because they happen to not have been born human. By any definition these orcas have been enslaved here.”

Having praised the Egyptian revolution after throwing rocks for 3 years at hornet nests such as Libya, Iran, Iraq, Jordan and Bahrain, readers may have trouble recalling exactly why Barack Hussein Obama was awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize: “For his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”

Is Obama’s Peace Prize About To Be Confiscated?

(ZeroHedge) The announcement of Obama’s recognition by the Nobel Peace Prize committee in 2009 seemed, to many, more like an ‘Onion-worthy’ headline than reality but now, as The Associated Press reports, it seems the officials face a formal inquiry over the selection criteria that could rescind the last three years’ awards. The accusations at the root of the inquiry stem from persistent complaints by a Norwegian peace researcher that cites the original purpose of the prize was to diminish the role of military power in international relations, and if the Stockholm County Administrative Board, the overseer of such foundations, finds that the founder Alfred Noble’s will is not being honored then (while unlikely) Obama (2009), Liu Xiaobo (2010), and last year’s Liberians could face their awards suspended as ‘champions of peace’.

Nobel Peace Prize Jury Under Investigation

(Yahoo) STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — Nobel Peace Prize officials were facing a formal inquiry over accusations they have drifted away from the prize’s original selection criteria by choosing such winners as President Barack Obama, as the nomination deadline for the 2012 awards closed Wednesday.

The investigation comes after persistent complaints by a Norwegian peace researcher that the original purpose of the prize was to diminish the role of military power in international relations.

If the Stockholm County Administrative Board, which supervises foundations in Sweden’s capital, finds that prize founder Alfred Nobel’s will is not being honored, it has the authority to suspend award decisions going back three years — though that would be unlikely and unprecedented, said Mikael Wiman, a legal expert working for the county.

~snip~

The secretive prize committee doesn’t discuss nominations — which have to be postmarked by Feb. 1 to be valid — but stresses that being nominated doesn’t say anything about a candidate’s chances.

Fredrik Heffermehl, a prominent researcher and critic of the selection process, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that “Nobel called it a prize for the champions of peace.”

“And it’s indisputable that he had in mind the peace movement, i.e. the active development of international law and institutions, a new global order where nations safely can drop national armaments,” he said

Especially after World War II, the prize committee, which is appointed by the Norwegian Parliament, has widened the scope of the prize to include environmental, humanitarian and other efforts, he said.

[...] in 2009 the committee cited Obama for “extraordinary efforts” to boost international diplomacy.

“Do you see Obama as a promoter of abolishing the military as a tool of international affairs?” Heffermehl asked rhetorically.

Nobel, a Swedish industrialist and inventor, gave only vague guidelines for the peace prize in his 1895 will, saying it should honor “work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.”

Nobel said the peace prize should be awarded by a Norwegian committee, and the other Nobel Prizes by committees in Sweden. The two Scandinavian nations were in a union at the time.

Geir Lundestad, the nonvoting secretary of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, dismissed Heffermehl’s claims.

[...] the County Administrative Board decided to sent a letter to the Stockholm-based Nobel Foundation, which manages the prize assets, requesting a formal response to the allegations.

“We have no basis to suggest that they haven’t managed it properly. But we want to investigate it,” Wiman said.

“The prize committee must always adjust its rules to today’s society,” he said. “But peace work has to be at the core — it can’t deviate too much from that,” Wiman said.

So the Skynet prediction – August 29, 1997 in the Terminator movie – was off by about 15 years. No worries.

Membership in the Church of Liberalism certainly has its advantages. For one, it’s comfortable. Two, the ‘it’s-all-good’ foundation nurtures a ‘consequence-free’ lifestyle that permits its congregation to reinterpret, or revise God’s ‘inconvenient’ Commandments with the hope of making one’s journey along the fatal path of escapism more pleasurable.

Replacing truth with false gods such as ‘the environment’, ‘absolute tolerance’ and ‘globalism’ – all forms of escapism – are temporal. A Babylon, if you will. Denial.

‘Denial is bliss!’, preach the disciples of liberalism. Ignorance is Utopia — an LLC (Limited Liability Corp). And like so many levels of ‘enlightenment’, this version, obtained through self-righteousness is smug.

‘Smug’ is today’s new movement, or better yet, today’s new religion — manufactured spirituality that offers what man wants, when he wants it. Pro-Choice. Limited accountability. Man’s Law above God’s Law. And this Smug Factory – using defective molds of entitlement – is producing a seemingly endless run of humanism that is shaping our nation and our future leaders.

No surprise, but government has tapped into new religion, knowing the majority will embrace its universal vision. A re-vision. A change. Change built on empty merit systems comprised of ‘green’ energy, carbon credits, forced diversity and animal rights that trump human rights — contradictory as that may seem.

Naturally, the smug and other lost souls aching to fill the void in their lives, instinctively, helplessly, swarm to Utopia. In doing so they gamble away their whole-life investment by unquestionably supporting big government as it effortlessly channels true hope and true faith away from God.

‘Hope and Change!’, promised Hitler. ‘Hope and Change!’, promises Obama.

‘If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?’ ~ Psalms 11

Reader’s response: ‘If you destroy the foundations, if you take good people off from their hope in God, [...] you ruin them, and break their hearts indeed, and make them of all men the most miserable.’

holocaust |ˈhäləˌkôst; ˈhōlə-|  [noun]

1 destruction or slaughter on a mass scale.

Now, before passing judgement on Germany’s denial of the Holocaust and the countless atrocities committed by its leaders during World War II, consider this, the United States has exterminated 54+ million American lives since 1973 (Roe vs. Wade).

<Enter Denial Mode>

At the risk of repeating myself, every 3 years America murders the same number of would-be children that were put to death during entire Holocaust of WWII.

Yet last week we find Barack Hussein Obama and supporters celebrating, CELEBRATING Roe vs. Wade and trumpeting Obama’s commitment to protect the mass slaughter of would-be children that he and supporters claim is our ‘fundamental constitutional right‘ – and that abortion is merely a reflection of the ‘broader principles’ of America.

Obama: Abortion Is Our ‘Fundamental Constitutional Right’

(CNS News) Obama, “And as we remember this historic anniversary, we must also continue our efforts to ensure that our daughters have the same rights, freedoms, and opportunities as our sons to fulfill their dreams.”

[...] As president, Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, which would appropriate federal money toward insurance plans that pay for abortions.

~snip~

Folks. Responsibility does not reside solely with America’s ‘leaders’. They are more than willing, and frankly deserve to share the responsibility with those that knowingly put them – and permit them to remain – in a position that allows the ongoing ‘consequence-free’ termination of human life.

<Enter Denial Mode>

For those that default to Romans 13 and state, ‘We must respect our President’ or, ‘We must submit to authority’, may I submit to you the following…

• There can be no morality without authority.
• There can be no authority without fear.
• There can be no fear without accountability.
• There can be no accountability without consequences.

In short, true authority [and the respect of] can not exist void of accountability or consequence. And when morality erodes, some, perhaps most, will join the Church of Liberalism hoping to replace their misery with the false God of Denial.

One-In-Five Young Germans Unaware Of Auschwitz

(Daily News) One in five young Germans has no idea that Auschwitz was a Nazi death camp, a poll released Wednesday showed, two days ahead of Holocaust memorial day.

Although 90 percent of those asked did know it was a concentration camp, the poll for Thursday’s edition of Stern news magazine revealed that Auschwitz meant nothing to 21 percent of 18-29 year olds.

And nearly a third of the 1,002 people questioned last Thursday and Friday for the poll were unaware that Auschwitz was in today’s Poland.

Federal Workers Are 17th Highest Compensated Employees In The Nation

(The American via Doug Ross) CNN Money has a nice survey of the 25 highest-paying companies in the country, outlining the average total compensation per employee in each one. According to CNN, the closest match to federal employment is Microsoft, whose average employee compensation is $132,023 per year, making it the 17th highest-paying company in the country.

Federal Workers Owe $3.4 Billion In Back Taxes

(Pantagraph) President Barack Obama has preached that all Americans should pay their fair share in taxes, but a government report finds that tens of thousands of federal employees — from staffers in Congress to federal agencies and even Obama’s executive office — collectively owe the government billions in back taxes.

Data from the Internal Revenue Service found that more than 279,000 federal employees and retirees owed $3.4 billion in back income taxes as of Sept. 30, 2010.

The data showed that 467 employees of the House of Representatives, or about 4.2 percent of the workforce, owed more than $8.5 million. In the Senate, 217 employees, or about 3 percent of the workforce, owed $2.13 million.

Obama’s staff was not immune, either, with 36 people in Obama’s executive office of nearly 1,800 workers — about 2 percent — owing the government $833,970 in back taxes.

~snip~

The good news is, the total amount government employees owe in back taxes is down slightly from September 2009, when more than 282,000 federal workers owed $3.3 billion in taxes.

*Whew!*

Hat Tip: Moonbattery

Despite Government Motors sponsoring Communist propaganda, despite the Chevy Volt costing taxpayers $250k per vehicle to produce, despite Big Government purchasing 1-in-every-4 hybrids sold, despite taxpayers losing $9 billion on GM’s IPO loss last year, despite Americans being forced to shell out an additional $7,500 worth of tax and ‘clean-car’ incentives for every Volt purchased, despite GMs’ $50 billion bailout, despite bankrupt GM distributing manager bonuses up to 50% of their salaries, despite GM spending $4 million on lobbyists in just 3 months due to horrible Volt sales, despite GM covering corporate transgender surgeries, despite perfectly timed hype from Motor Trend naming the government-subsidized Chevy Volt as ‘Car of the Year’ without a single Volt ever being sold, despite Chevy Volts randomly catching fire, despite…

Well, despite all that, it’s best we ignore America’s ballooning culture of corruption. For our children’s sake.

Lucky for us, Government Mafia, the engineers of this train wreck are unimpeachable experts at derailing anything that resembles an actual investigation; Solyndra, Project Gunrunner, National Board of Realtors, GE, Pigford, Petrobras, BP, …

Chevy Volt Fires: Government Stops Investigating Itself

(Bloomberg) U.S. regulators ended an investigation into why Chevrolet Volt electric cars caught fire, and said electric vehicles do not pose a greater risk of fire.

The conclusion by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration came two weeks after General Motors Co. (GM) told owners to bring the vehicles to dealerships for repair.

“Based on the available data, NHTSA does not believe that Chevy Volts or other electric vehicles pose a greater risk of fire than gasoline-powered vehicles,” the agency said in an e- mailed statement today.

The government started investigating the Volt after a side- impact crash test in May led to a fire three weeks later. During that test, the lithium-ion battery pack broke open and coolant leaked into the battery. When the car was physically rotated as part of the test, more coolant leaked into a circuit board, leading to a fire. NHTSA replicated the fire in November and started an official probe Nov. 25.

“GM is proud of the technological innovation the Volt represents,” Greg Martin, a GM spokesman, said today in an e- mailed statement. “We appreciate the confidence our Volt customers continued to provide during the investigation.”

Feds Announce $1,500 Incentive For California Chevy Volt Buyers

(LA Times) General Motors Co. plans to bring a special version of the Chevrolet Volt to the California market that will qualify the plug-in hybrid sedan for a $1,500 state rebate and a coveted carpool lane sticker.

The Volt, which the automaker has made the poster child for its environmental credentials, has sold slower in California than its all-electric rival, the Nissan Leaf — in part because it previously did not qualify as a vehicle solo drivers could use in the state’s network of time-saving carpool lanes.

URGENT : GM Updates Chevy Volt Manual

Preparing Your Garage For A Chevy Volt

(via Doug Ross) Electric cars might save you money at the pump, but they sure don’t save you time filling up. A typical electric car… takes upwards of 20 hours to recharge a fully drained battery when using an standard 120-volt outlet. While this might not be a problem for those looking to buy a second car for occasional outings, it certainly won’t cut it if an electric car is meant to be your primary vehicle.

In order to achieve a quicker charge, you’ll need to hire an electrician to install a 240-volt, 40-amp line that connects directly to the circuit breaker, a hookup similar to the one you might have for an electric oven or clothes dryer. With the increase in voltage, you can cut your charging time down to seven hours for a Nissan LEAF and four hours for the Chevy Volt, which means an overnight charge makes it a more practical purchase for daily use.

Super-fast charging stations capable of pumping out 480 volts are already on the market, and can recharge a car in 30 minutes or less. But these souped-up charging stations are currently for commercial use only because most homes can’t handle the kind of voltage and amperage required, at least not without some major rewiring of the power grid.
