RE: Profits and OIL DEBT
..for example..
*The car that YOU can't have in the United States!
*The 2008 FORD Fiesta
* 65 MPG/76 MPG Highway

*In the U.S., You get LESS...
*The 2012 Ford Fiesta for the United States is made in Mexico and delivers WAY LESS mileage 40 MPG Highway....WHY?

Aptera (Aptera USA) It's alive! ..... sort of...

Zap Jonway  -  web site     Chinese version - web site

So, it looks like the new Aptera (Aptera USA) ApteraUSA.com has plans to have the composite parts manufactured and made into body shells in China, shipped to the USA where the drive train and then final assembly will happen here in the U.S. .....and sold here in the U.S. .....    .....eventually .... hopefully?

I had the opportunity to drive this SO-1. It looks like the same one in China, now.

I like the SO-1 design better for the head room and small upgrades over the original design.  My only critique of that car was that at the time I drove the prototype the steering was "heavy" and I would like to see the steering wheel closer to the dash. I suggested longer idler arms to improve the leverage on the wheel and not use electric steering to take away from the efficient operation of the vehicle. I loved the variable regen knob in the car.

If the price is right.... I would still buy one because it will use American energy dollars here at home and it is the best design out there (IMHO).

......... remember   .....U.S. ENERGY DOLLARS ....HERE AT HOME.

The new Honda Fit EV (all electric) appears to only be available as a lease vehicle.

IF THIS IS not the case... bring on the Fit EV.

iF THIS IS THE CASE.....  THEN....... NOT INTERESTED in lease only vehicles...

 

WHY???..... HISTORY.

  WHAT IF YOU LIKE IT AND WANT TO KEEP THE CAR WHEN THE LEASE EXPIRES AND BE IN CONTROL OF YOUR OWN DESTINY WITH THE CAR.

   ...could they terminate the leases and crush the cars? Has that been done before?

...been done before.

To Honda: IF IT IS NOT GOING TO BE.....make it available for purchase.
THANK YOU.

 

 

MORE MORE MORE....
call it "green" and laugh it off....
don't explore anything else...

Drill to exhaustion.....

that is the answer....

now, wait for a crisis....
  
 

 

 

...and then worry about it.

NOTE: world (resource) oil spots are world terror spots... or places where we need Democracy... Now   hmmmmmm?

time for this.....

 

 

Today.... and what a surprise...

Oil is going up...  "Tell them what they want to hear and then do what is good for short term big lobby money special business"...

Try slogans like... "If you vote for me... I will get gasoline back to $2.50 per gallon"... WABOS.

meanwhile.... 8 Presidents later...


this is where you live...
we live here....
electric cars USE  "American" energy dollars.

...including 1b per DAY DEBT oil ......$14.3 Trillion....we passed it...
"oh well, the credit will never end....just raise it..  ..and again!"
 


 



Oil expected to rise by 60 cents per gallon in 120 days from today....
and....The oil guys are laughing...

IT IS ALL ABOUT THE (AFFORDABLE) ELECTRIC CAR... BUT,

Fisker Automotive  (article link), the maker of an exotic electric sports car that is being built with help from a $529 million federal government loan guarantee.... and built in Finland? WTF?, has announced layoffs at its Delaware plant as it tries to persuade the Department of Energy to send it more public funds..... (to continue to build it's 100K electric car for the average guy...)

....promised to one day begin producing affordable electric sedans. (when? ...after how many millions more and still in Finland?)

We say...."Hell NO".

The oil guys are laughing...



The fisker electric car, partially funded by $529 million in American tax payer dollars and built in ...wait for it... Finland. U.S.jobs...WTF?

  Solyndra?

Hey, at least this is an inexpensive alternative to oil... no? You mean...the average working family man's oil and electric car option to help get off oil funded by the American taxpayer and built in Finland is not a solution for the average guy?... oh wait... the Fisker electric car costs about $100,000 U.S. Dollars (and funded by the taxpayer) and is being sold on a Fisker will someday build an affordable car...WTF? WABOS!

....so, in United States politics.....

Any suggestions to improve this web?


     For the long run, The People of the United States should demand with their wallets, plug-in all electric and hybrid cars for local commuter transportation, trucks, infrastructure, movements, links, sponsors and other plug-in electric devices to replace foreign oil and eventually harness domestic solar, wind and other alternative
