Who said the electric car is dead?
Actually, there’s so much that I could say about the CNN article on a new electric car… it would make an article in and of itself. And honestly, I’d rather you read the author’s words than mine.
But I was talking this over with one of my coworkers who seemed to think that the ideas presented in the article were the dumbest he’d heard in quite some time. He thinks that employer’s would never provide solar powered charging stations. He doesn’t think that Americans would rent the batteries for their cars (understanding that by doing so you decrease the actual cost of the car, though your total payment would probably be the same.) But he says that “if it doesn’t save the average consumer money, then it’s not really resolving the battery concern, just putting a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”
I’m not going to tell you everything he said, because it might make you as angry as it made me. Regardless of whether the idea is perfect or not, it is a step in the right direction, and I don’t think that part can be denied. My point is simply this: there will have to come a time when we make decisions based on betterment rather than money, or we will all die - and what good is money when you are dead?
