A Financial Times article a couple of weeks back was saying that $1T of recent investment in shale oil and gas extraction will never se a profit - due to too low oil and gas prices. Guess what's going to happen next? MW On 27 May 2014, at 07:02, Jan Steinman via EV wrote: From: Michael

Roland, I do hope you are not advocating the use of highly toxic and horribly dangerous Potassium hydroxide be carried around in cars as an alternative to (equally as dangerous and impractical) H2? Any collision would make a Tesla fire look like cap gun going off in comparison. Thank God
