If there was success of energy competing altenatives
OPEC would find a way to derail it.
just ask the corn growers and bio fuels crowd
I would bet that the silicon valley boys will have just as tough of time
producing cars for a profit as anyone else
but I'm sure there will lines to buy a $130k (carbon$$)

The GEM car I got was donated by Chrysler to a hospital in Cali (to meet an alternative energy quota- got it on Ebay) - there were no dealers or service in OR but the thing was essentially a souped up golf cart (hot lips uses them for pizza delivery) - with the Aptera you would probably have to flatbed it back to get it fixed (gen one tech usually requires some tweaks).

Good info Gman- I will keep working it to see if I can get one of these.

Judging by the millions of tons of plastic grocery bags still tossed out, you're entirely correct PMB! |

Thread zombie time!
Small Cars Are Dangerous Cars
"That difference is reflected in the real world. The death rate in minis in multi-vehicle crashes is almost twice as high as that of large cars. And in single-vehicle crashes, where there's no oversized second vehicle to blame, the difference is even greater: Passengers in minis suffered three times as many deaths as in large cars." |

| I'm going to go home and fill my trunk with lead. And then pick up a good full face helmet and nomex suit for the little one. |
