      You know, it's interesting that you point out that Americans have a love affair with their vehicles. I agree. That leads me to disagree however with your conclusion that Americans will be driving full battery-electric vehicles. Sure, many people can plug-in their cars, but enough to really warrant high volume production of full battery-electric vehicles? I don't think so. And most Americans live in the city, without a garage. So that's a more significant issue than most realize. As is the range. Battery electric vehicles will never compete with the 300-400 mile range that family cars need to have.

      So I agree with you that Americans will be driving hybrid electric and full electric vehicles. But I think those full electric vehicles are more likely to have a hydrogen fuel cell in them to provide the electricity than a couple of massive batteries.

      In the end, we'll need a variety of solutions. Each has its costs and benefits. Here's to hoping that soon, we'll have a variety of alternative technology/fuel vehicles to choose from in the showroom.
