Doug Ross @ Journal: Good News: First Responders Are Now Receiving Training to Deal With Exploding Chevy Volts

I wonder how much CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere when a Chevy Volt explodes?

The list of required knowledge for first responders gets longer all the time. Now firefighters are being alerted to potential danger during rescue procedures involving hybrid or electric vehicles...

At a conference of in Las Vegas this weekend, the National Fire Protection Association provided a day of training for trainers — firefighters who will return home to share with their ranks practical knowledge about the cars.

Safely disabling the the batteries tops the list. High-voltage batteries that operate the vehicle systems carry enough juice to kill or severely injure a rescuer who incorrectly cuts a cable. Students also spent time sorting out the varying features on hybrid and electric models, including airbag trigger mechanisms.

I wonder if the GSA footed the bill for the Las Vegas training session?

Oh wait, maybe Solyndra paid for it!

the good news is that so few Volts have been sold, Chevy will eventually revert back to a capitalist business model and scrap it in favor of a more traditional hybrid

or they will bring back the Chevette

They've had this issue since the first Prius came out. First responders are already trained and handle the issue without a problem.

Wasn't this whole issue settled as complete bull**** in January?
