Blog sub group? Maybe but...important news NEEDS to be debated. This is a great example of how big oil will devote ALL their resources, we know ho w big those resources are, to crushing the Electric Car.
Today I will be with a host of many St. Thomas University students. From the e-mails I have received, they, our future generation of leaders, ARE READY to embrace the alternative electric car. For those who are annoyed by a blip of e-mails that will certainly pass in time, you can't be ready for the fight against big oil if this alone will cause you to flee. Is it time to put fossil fuels and the alternatives that are driving food prices worldwide batty away? The choice is ours to make. Stay tough, stay true. Here's to an even better Electric Car! That should be our focus. Sound devices are cheap and reliable. Triggered when needed. Problem solved. And we look SAFER over the petroleum folks! That's a win!
