Not every one will be able afford a new car of any kind. But we’ve got to start now using all of our options to cut dependency on imported oil. That includes electric and fuel cell cars, solar power,and increased drilling and refining not to mention conservation. To get the production of any of these up to sustainable levels would probably take equal amounts of time before we can reap the benefits. having electric cars is not gonna do it by them selves or drilling by it self. We have to implement all of these measures.

Me either at this time, but once mass production starts the prices will drop and we will never be independent of energy prices from foreign countries unless we start now. Electric and fuel cell cars along with increased domestic production of crude would would put us a long way down the road on our Quest for energy independence. I am sure most of our leaders know this, there must be a lot of money being paid out under the table to prevent this from rapidly happening. It’s gonna happen eventually and now would be a excellent time to start in my opinion.

i can not afford an electric car, i think its great they are willing to do something. seeing they are behind canada and mexico in supplying oil to the united states.  i mean lets get real, we will not drill here because of invro issues, but we sure do not mind them doing it. why not put pressure on canada. or better yet get those drills cranking and drill here i am ready to get a shovel and start digging in my back yard. a lot of truckers are going to mexico to get diesel its around 2 dollars a gallon. just think if we were the number one oil producer in the world again.

they have all the money in the world so what do they care if pore people can aforde gas the goverment got to do something or the United States going to slame to a screaching halt.
