Check out this electric car company.
Vision Motor Cars
Its management appear to be solid people with integrity
and a great deal of consciousness.
It sure seems like the current business climate is barring entry into the market to all except established companies, such as General Motors, etc. Regulatory hurdles are insurmountable. The unions also appear to have a rope around this newly emerging industry's neck.
The entry barrier is also high from the consumer's perspective.
Financing is not likely available.
And you need to wait 3 months for delivery.
What is the role of the government here?
To protect fledgling industries?
(as happened during the internet start-up era?)
Did you know that the Federal government
has never given one single dollar
in grant money to any electric vehicle maker in the United States?
A loan guarantee perhaps, but never an investment in the development of a new industry, affecting transportation, engineering, energy, jobs, the path toward sustainability..... so many paths converge here!
As John Perkins urges us all,
Vote with your dollars when you can.
We will continue to live in 3-D reality long after 2012 has passed,
and to make things happen here, one must take action.
Pay it forward :)

It is impressive.
