The Electric Car Battery Battle

Has anyone thought about how many mechanics it will take to repair all these different engine designs if they truely come into use?

Single people will want a car that can cover a long range and I don't think it will be all electric (unless it is very small) for a long time. This will keep hybrids or PHEVs viable. There are companies like Cyclone Power CYPW that are bring new combustion engines to market. Another one is Turbine Truck engines TTEG.

We have wasted the last 8 years under Bush. Trillions of dollars spent for a war to free the middle east for democracy, as if a cult like Islam would ever be democratic. China could not have proposed a better president to destroy this country than the one we have now. If we are to have any chance at recovery, we must elect a democrat (and they are stupid on immigration).
