Bill Clinton got electric cars right

[Skybird]

I had to laugh when reading his laconic reasoning, it reads like something by Ayn Rand. He was right, though.

That project of electric cars in Israel now is expected to fiule for bancrupcty any hour, after having burnt 850 million bucks in six years.

I tend to think that pure e3lctric cars are dead, at lkeast5 for the forseeable future. Audi has completely stopped just any development and pruction, all mother German car mnakers are sticking to it as alibis only, with tight lips and not being happy with it: it is about the green reputation they are after, but econiomically, the oingoing sinking of money is a disaster. Worldwide, practically all major car makers cannot report any successes that would justify any optimism over the future prospect for economic success in electric cars. Hybrid cars seem to be next coming thing. And even that is in question in North America, with the new oil and gas revolution currently going on there. Proving any green purposeful pessimists wrong who want to talk it down because it is evil energy, fracking and shale oil is doing well and currently turns around the energy industry there. And history has shown us so often: when there is no pressure from pain, then people do not change their habits. Maybe a green left tyranny will enforce it directly or indirectly even in America. But that is a different story. There is plenty to learn from the German totally misled so-called "en ergy turn". A policy that runs since some years over here - and is a money-crippling, social, total disaster and a total violation of just any economic reason.
