You make a good point. Isn't it annoying how these guys tell us how to live our lives for environmental reasons while theyre driving in limos, flying in private jets and living in huge houses!

Actually, yes.
"the entire White House fleet will be converted to plug‐ins within one year and half of all cars purchased by the federal government will be plug‐in hybrids or all‐electric by 2012."

Electric cars are too slow and have such a short range that they'd be impractical for Obama's needs. Electric vehicle technology has a long way to go before it's useful to the rest of us, and they're unaffordable for almost everyone.

No. They run gasoline because natural gas would not provide the HP required for all of the armor plating. Also, the large amount of weight and heat concerns with batteries make electricity impractical.

Electric cars is not going green. Just to charge the batteries will cost 40% more energy .That would produce 40% more CO2 than just a gasoline engine in the first place.
