Ok, but like that old fable about the mice who thought their
problems would be solved by placing a bell in the cat, where
is this electricity coming? Diesel termoelectic plants? :-)
Hey, from an environmental standpoint, is it better to get
electricity from an old coal-fired plant to charge an electric car,
or use a gasoline-burning car?
I must say the performance of that electric car looks pretty
sweet. :) (I'm all about acceleration.)
I want to know where they plan to drive it where such performance
could be used.
