Andrew, Here are two excerpts from the article you highlight.
"Battery technology may still be struggling to reach its goals" "Congress approved -- but has yet to fund -- $295 million in annual research on vehicle batteries" This assumes that we need to dicover battery technology before we can have production electric vehiclles. What we need to do, is liberate the NiMh technology, we alreaady have. These batteries are tried and proven. Sure beeter batteries would be nice, but better batteries should not be a pre-condition to the availability of Battery Electric Production Vehicles. There seems to be, almost universal, acceptance of the notion that we don't have the battery technology to put Battery Electric Vehicles in Production. Battery Technology is not "struggling to reach its goals", it is struggling to reach the market and get out from under the thumb of corporate oil. Are you suggesting we write to our congressman as indivuals or as the EAA and the FLEAA? I can fight this battle as an individual and so can the rest of us, all worthwhile. What this nation needs to hear and understand from the people who know (The EAA) is that we are driving Battery Electric Vehicles and they work with the battery technology available today. Further, they would work beetter with the battery technology now in the hands of copporate oil. I am not picking on you Andrew. I just chose your note because it highlights an article wich I believe is an ideal example of the success of the corporate misinformation.
