Al, Paul Renneisen, newer member of FLEAA, You wrote a great letter below. May I ask, since it is your letter, that it can have a great impact if you adjusted it slightly to be a letter to the editor. At a minimum, I would send it to USA today (just did Tesla Motor article), Wall Street Journal, The Nation, Newsweek, Time and Readers Digest. Add to the list as you like. A google search will give you the appropriate addresses.
A PUT A STAMP ON IT. E-mail will never reach its goal as e-mail is like so much wood floating in the river. A letter will reach its destination, like the ship on the river, a little bit more slowly. Anyway, your post is one of the best on battery supply issue. Clear and understandable. Let's get it out there in print.
