SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28 — Shai Agassi, a Silicon Valley technologist who was in competition to become chief executive of SAP, one of the world’s largest software companies, has re-emerged with a grand plan to reinvent the world’s automobile industry around battery-powered all-electric cars.The reality of the situation is that it all comes down to BTUS', watts, energy consumption... you know, that hard to understand stuff.
Agassi is not planning to make cars, but instead wants to deploy an infrastructure of battery-charging stations in the United States, Europe and the developing world.
The new system will sell electric fuel on a subscription basis and will subsidize vehicle costs through leases and credits.
Some very smart people have determined that if we all drive electric cars, we will need three times the amount of electricity presently available today. In English, that's three times the number of power plants that we have dotting today's landscape.
And at the cost of oil today, they will have to be coal-fired. Welcome to smog world.

Or nuclear.
Either way, it'll never happen.
Your pals in Al Gump's camp have kept U.S. from developing and using our own reserves...To make U.S. dependent on the scum of the earth for our power.
