There's nothing quite like a nationalized auto industry.
Personally, an electric car is useless to me. I know a lot of people that feel the same - the distance they live from their place of employment means 40-50 miles per charge is grossly insufficient.
Shouldn’t the auto makers focus on designing something that serves the needs of their custormers, and not the desires of the “public servants” who have the big checkbook? /common sense
My unbiased, layman's opinion on the matter? Let the auto industry go bankrupt. Maybe next time people will think twice before unionizing.
Since we, as a nation, drive more miles during warmer months - and we consume so much electricity to supply air conditioning needs in the summer to the point some major cities experience brownouts - How is the electric grid going to support all these cars being plugged into the grid without Nuclear (green weenies) and without coal fired plants (global warmists)?
This whole hybrid thing is so much political correctness just like trading carbon credits.
Look ahead 10 years. It’s a sweltering hot day in August.
Due to use of electricity in the hybrids, there is not enough electricity for air conditioning. Newborns and the elderly are dying. The green people(Democrat Socialists) start ranting that this can not go on and that all automobiles must switch back to gasoline only.
Unintended consequences. Like moving from paper to plastic to save the trees. No thought whatsoever to all the plastic that now sits in our land fills.
“Automakers gearing up for electric cars”
Since they have so much influence in congress, maybe they can stop the tearing out of hydro electric dams all over the west by the enviro freaks...you know to supply those electric cars!
“Now that automakers are all busy gearing up to make electric vehicles, ...”
They can gear up all they want, I wont be buying one of these toasters.
Drill here and drill right damn now, or as far as I am concerned... we can go back to horses.
