Re: Corbi, what do you think of the plan to put a hundred thousand battery-
A noble goal.....but I'm concerned about now.......who will be able to afford them........why buy a car that costs 60% more a mile over the life of the car. Where is the incentive to buy them?  To feel good about yourself?   That's nice....but how does that help pay the mortgage,  put kids through college, cover medical bills.   They are material statements for people who want to say  "Look How I'm Helping  the World"......and they will not be cost efficient, not until there is a major breakthru in battery technology.......JMHO

I hope not......
Puting money into the feel good green projects will accomplish little......I heard he was considering huge investments in rebuilding the infrastructure of the country.......that is a positive way to spend the money......millions of jobs would be created immediately.......a boost to the economy.......the green proposals might be a touchy feel good thing....but there is nothing to invest  a "Marshall Plan" level in......we must focus on the now, not the "what if".......
