Minor question: Why does everytime I share my car I bang my knee?

he's gonna change the world! no more oil imports!

Wow, there is something really big coming up!!!God bless this guy!

If you were honestly interested in nuclear power, you'd understand how safe it is to transport and store the waste. This is 2009. Not 1986 Chernobyl.

Because gasoline is slowly killing any country that uses it without selling it.Maybe you live in a middle eastern country where you can prophit off of it.I mean, fuck the environmental concerns, we'll perish of a lack of economy long before the environment is an issue.

Im happy to use gasoline, whats wrong with it?

Well, if everyone listened to you, we'd be on our knees sucking the dick of the Chinese semi-communist government. We owe the Chinese so much money right now because of oil.

He's Nicola Tesla meets Henry Ford in the 21st century. If this plan works, he's gonna be a very wealthy man... If he isn't already.

I'm not worried about the environmental issues as much as the economic issues. The economic issues are more prevalent and by resolving the economic issues we resolve the environmental issues.That means, yes, we'll need to use coal to power these. But it also means that we can begin to pay off our 11 trillion dollar debt! I want that gone so badly.

Without the government, the people will surely fall to gasoline. There's nothing wrong with government helping the people. You just think there is because Ronald Reagan said his famous, but sneaky quote...

Reserve me one of those cars!

I hope that we (American car companies) investigate this option with vigor. I don't know enough about the topic but this sounds like a great idea. Getting away from gas and coal would be great. It sounds like long distance driving and hauling would still be gas vehicles? Anyways I love the vision.

I wonder why Shai Agassi thinks its neccesary to use the power of the state in order to convert the world to electric cars.The government really didnt play any parts in starting the gasoline adventure. Why is, people call on government now to fix this problem that has been conjured and preached by governments? (Im talking about the CO2 emissions and the potential harm on the climate myth)

DONT READ!!!!!PLEASE DNT!!!IWARNED YOU!!Way back in 1894, a little girl named Madeline Crothe was skipping through the woods when a mysterious man in black snatched her. He brought her to his house, tourtered her, and starved her to death. Send this to 6 videos in the next 30 min. and you will be safe, but if you don't... at approximately 1: 34 tonight you will wake up to see an aneorexic child holding a bloodied up knife and she will kill you

It sounds like a good idea. He didn't get into all the details, but based on what he said, I'm guessing that the government would be paying for the solar/wind equipment & land, wiring, metered outlet stations, swap stations, the swap station attendant salaries, and the batteries. Then that would be paid for through higher taxes or added to the electric cost, and zoning codes would require an outlet for every 6th parking parking space?

The desease doesnt come from arab country, it comes from the US it self..The Us consumes most of the petrol in the world.. mayb u should reflect on that, dont blame in on others..GM keeps producing fuel guzzling cars, and u blaming somebody else.. get a life..

Finally... a Steve Jobs for the automotive industry.

I have an Idea! Let's get the entire world to move their automotive energy away from oil, that comes in big part from arab countries, and build an entire infrastructure thus diminishing the oil revenue from antagonist arab states; I supose this is easier than learning to get along with your neighbors. Brilliant!!! I love being informed...

I think he is a visionary. We need more people like this in business leadership.. Go Shai!

Ditto on scamming using US tax dollars to sabotage US undustry. Is that why the so-called "bank bail-out" went through and the manufacturing bail-out is being blocked?
