c) notice they slipped in "Urban areas are beginning to think slower is better"--?prelude to more regulations, cart paths in cities at God knows what cost, more government control of your life?
d) Note they only mentioned electric carts, even though the vast majority of carts in TV are gas. Was this a subtle push for a "green" agenda, ultimately addressing "the most important security concern for the US"---"global warming"?
Sad that you cannot watch a fluff piece on a known liberal TV station and not suspect a political agenda. Maybe this "important" issue will be a question at the next presidential debate.
What I would really like to know, given that most of our electricity is generated from fossil fuels, is the actual carbon footprint, per mile driven, of gas vs. electric carts. Also, the environmental impact of manufacturing and eventually disposing of all those batteries which contain toxic material?

Wishing you folks would let CBS know your feelings!
