Did it really take us this long to "unleash the power of the free market" on energy efficiency?

Wow! Who'd-a thunk?
But:
The first-generation Volt is expected to cost near $40,000, making it cost-prohibitive to many people even if gasoline returns to $4 per gallon. The price is expected to drop with future generations of the Volt, but GM has said government tax credits and the savings on fuel could make it cost-effective, especially at 230 miles per gallon.Well, yeah. And the first IBM XT probably cost as much as a small house, but, jeez.
