electric cars

But they're trying to keep the market flowing. If the oil indstry collapsed it wouldn't be just "great for the environment". Think about job loss.

The world is not yet ready for an electric car. You walk down to your nearest Station and they will sell you petrol! The cars don't run that well on electricity yet. :angel:

We are approaching a big breakthrough (like the railways in the past). We're just not there yet because they don't want us to. Simply because we're not ready

so because the car companies say were not ready, we're not ready. mmm
and what about the tessler and the fact a new car at half the price will be made. what about electric cars that we have running and working already all over the world. powered from on street charging points, powered from household electricty.

as to the oil industry jobs. i take it electric cars won't need maintenance
we wont need new charging stations. how many people work in the american oil industry most of it is automated. you have more indirect jobs in the manufacturing of new equipment for electric hook ups etc. the oil industry itself won't die but it will shrink in output. how long would it take to put a charging station in every city, how hard to make a wire with a plug that you can use from a house outlet. (they already do it) we have not only the tech savvi but the product itself. the only thing stopping it from advancing is the fact the car companies tell us we're not ready. well watch out in the next two years. watch electric cars and infrastructure begin to boom. watch out in five years when 1 in five new cars will be electric and in ten when 7 in ten will be electric. all that happening is their holding back the inevitable..just like the movie industry and file sharing.

it's not fiction it's fact, we have electric cars in production all over the world. sadly the automotive industry like the movie industry want to stay in their wallowed out holes in order to get as much as they can from a dying industry. what they should be doing is re-gearing their plant and workforce.
how much cash is pent on cleaning the pollutants from factory fires and oil fueled boilers. okay you may lose tax on oil not sold but you'll gain it from the extra money being spent elsewhere. new jobs will be created. probably more than the direct oil industry has. car plants will probably have to higher extra workers as many will want to change, if not for the environment then for the prestige. but no.
as usual it;s the punter who gets screwed up the bottom and all because we have to wait till we're told the time is right. just tell them that from 2015 petrol driven cars and trucks will be illegal. simple as. and watch how fast non petrol driven cars and trucks start appearing.
