Electric Cars
Great news! Electric cars are available. Just not here.

From India.
The Reva is designed for city commuters across the globe, for an economical and pollution free driving experience. Being efficient and cost-effective the Reva has the smallest running cost in the world! This has attracted markets world over and PowerShift of the UK has recognized the REVA as the most energy efficient electric vehicle in the world!

And some great information from EV World.

60 MInutes interviewed James Hansen last night.
Hansen is arguably the world's leading researcher on global warming. He's the head of NASA's top institute studying the climate. But as correspondent Scott Pelley first reported last spring, this imminent scientist says that the Bush administration is restricting who he can talk to and editing what he can say. Politicians, he says, are rewriting the science.

Hansen has a theory that man has just 10 years to reduce greenhouse gases before global warming reaches what he calls a tipping point and becomes unstoppable. He says the White House is blocking that message.

"In my more than three decades in the government I've never witnessed such restrictions on the ability of scientists to communicate with the public," says Hansen.

But he didn't hold back speaking to Pelley, telling 60 Minutes what he knows.

Personally, I believe if we only have 10 years it is too late. The U.S. government can't manage to get it together enough to do anything positive in 10 years. But I'd like to see a Gore/Feingold ticket to give it a helluva try.
