It's electric

Boogie, woogie, woogie. Interesting blog post on Nissan's push for increased production of electric vehicles. The author links this effort to the BP oil spill and China's recent announcement of significant electric vehicle subsidies.

Skeptics will argue that a massive shift away from oil is a pipe dream. But I always remind those folks that the "The Stone Age didn't end for lack of stone, and the oil age will end long before the world runs out of oil." (A quote from Sheik Ahmed Zaki Yamani, the Saudi oil minister during the 1970's.)

There are so many reasons to act now and none that justify delay.
