Recent Announcements Will Spark Electric Car Sales

Electric cars are patriotic....I love the idea of my car running on American power, whether coal, nuclear, gas, or renewables. I love the concept of charging my car at night off a smart grid, that provides demand response to customers as well as better service from the utility. I love the idea that an electric car will not be laying off environmental costs on the world, and will allow Americans to look much better as a nation. Yes, electric cars are part of national security and restoring America as leader nation.

Driving cars on oil, just makes no sense, it's killing our world and enriching our enemies. The cost of a gallon of gas needs to reflect the real environmental costs, as well as the cost of the military, etc., but until then we are just subsidizing big oil and nations like Iran.

My U.S. Infrastructure and Employment Plan

Excellent article, and I quite agree with the above comments on rail upgrades and electric cars (which are quite related b/c fact is those electric cars are going to run on coal for a long time to come, not just wind or natural gas, or solar....yes, coal)....

I'd also be watching PWR since someone has to do the transmission work....and ABB since someone has to supply the power grid equipment.
