A century of progress?

Today President Obama is pushing for electric cars (Volts etc.) The Democrats who used to be called Liberals now wish to be called "Progressives." Over a century ago President T. Roosevelt rode in an electric car he was part of a political movement called "Progressives."
The BIG difference? T. Roosevelt's Progessives actually wanted PROGRESS. They didn't want pie in the sky unachievable goals like the Sierra club wants (mostly only wind and solar power.)
Roosevelt's Progressives discarded things that did not work. The electric car then as now didn't work as well as a gas car so it fell by the wayside without the government propping it up.
Maybe if we can get politics out of automobiles we can have one that uses something like hydrogen;
