CDC,
Take a look at the Tesla. It is a VERY HIGH END electric auto. I know someone that worked there a couple of years back. It is one fine auto. Yes, the price is way to steep for me or anyone that I personally know.
I did not know that jacka$$ Gore had anything to do with it though.
I do believe that someone needs to get going in a different direction with the fuel thing.
I know that they say the world will never run out of
oil but I look at it a differnt way.
Think of all of those
oil rigs with their pipes stuck into the earth and sucking the
oil up.
Now, think of a slurpie. You have this mass (ice in this case) with liquid in it and a straw (pipe) stuck in the bottom. You suck up the liquid and what happens to the mass (ice)? It dries up, will split and crack.
My belief is that is whats happening to the earth. Why do you think we have had so many sink holes, mud slides and such.
Now, I agree with your post and I am no tree hugger by any means. Logicly thinking, we do need to do something though.
At the price of these cars you better buy one right out of high school and keep it for your whole life to ever even try to break even.
End of my rant, Terry
