Can't Fish, Cut Bait

The idea of all-electric cars is “going south.” Not for political reasons, but through REALITY. The manufacturers of the all-electric cars are suffering from unusually bad sales of all-electric cars and are deleting them from their lines or lowering their expectations markedly. GM has cancelled mass-production of the “Adam electric-City” car; Audi has canceled the R8; Nissan has lowered the price of the “Leaf,” all-electric car by $7.000. Many other electric car hopefuls have done likewise, to Obama’s frustration. They’ve spent (and lost) a lot of money trying to accede to Obama’s demands, but it just ain’t agonna work, when reality sets in with no sales. No matter how much Obama wants it. Electric cars MIGHT work some day (with improved technology), but not today. (National Motorists Association)
