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.
Well, the 0-100, I know a few spots. :) (Except the nearest ones are
no longer safe to take at 60mph+ anymore. We'll see how things are when
all the construction is done on the highway that's supposed to open in
2007, see if there are any good stoplights in 60-mph zones. US 79 will
*probably* have something, even if FM 685 is totally fubar in that
respect when all is said and done.)
