Thanks for pointing this out. I am hopeful. It is four years since we fought so hard, on various fronts, to keep Ford from destroying not only the vehicles...
This is an excellent post. I believe it's spot on the topics this group covers. A simple, efficient, battery electric vehicle probably is the best thing on the...
In retrospect, the zero emission vehicle mandate those wackos in California dreamt up, wasn't such a bad deal after all. Got Ford off their butt. GM and the...
Greetings- One major problem for eliminating the use of fossil fuels has been the problem of how to store electrical power. We can make electricity from wind...
... You've mixed in a couple of different questions. The viability of a million wind generators is partly (but not entirely) dependent on discovery of...
John, That was excellent thinking. The idea of a "magnesium economy" certainly has as much merit as the "hydrogen economy," especially for cars. My guess...

It seems to me, in piecing much of this together, that we have competition developing amongst EV powertrain makers (AC Propulsion, vs. Enova, vs...?), and...
Healthy competition is a good sign. Hopefully chaos will ensue soon and we will see all out and single-minded competition in this and related fields. If such...
