Electric car stuff...

I think it is very ironic how GM made the EV1, and then helped destroyed it but here is the electric car industry once again, though I hope this time it sticks. The article is here http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/11/business/11electric.html. Personally I really want a electric car, would be a dream actually.

Yup, the EV1 was awesome! Lots of electrics on the horizon. There are a number of the Teslas on the road here and I drool every time I see one. The best part is driving next to 1 of the freeway with my window down and listening to the tesla's rev- it's like a spaceship! So quiet! They've got a sedan that's out soon- still priced high though. We need an electric car that has a reasonable cost. I think the Chevy Volt is too spendy for most.

True, but a lot of initiatives are being put forth to make coal power plants a thing of the past. However for the time being they are much better than cars that use gas, and cheaper too. If the majority of Americans go electric than the amounts of CO2 would decrease and it would push away the dependence of oil. The sad thing is, these technologies have been around for some time. Anyone see "Who killed the electric car"? Good film, made me yell a few times. I actually want a Electric for a few reasons, environment, take a bit off the bottom line from big oil, quieter, cheaper to maintain, cleaner, and it would do my daily tasks easily.
