Jack & Jill Politics

I thought it was sweet.

That's your strategy. You set up your strategy, rolled the dice and your playing your turn. The onus is still on President Obama to pass a bill w/the public option.

I asked you a question 3 hours ago.My 10 year old daughter wrote a piece on President Obama and I told her whatever you write be prepared to back it up.You sir just throw bullshit out there without even knowing the meaning of what you write.Again how can one be a facist and a socialist at the same time?

San Francisco to Los Angeles: An Electric (Car) Avenue
Posted by: Andrew Price on September 23, 2009 at 5:08 pm
Want to take your fancy Tesla Roadster down California’s beautiful Highway 101 but don’t know where to charge it up along the way? You’re in luck. We’re starting to build that electric vehicle infrastructure. Five EV charging stations are being installed between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

From Wired.com:

SolarCity and Rabobank claim the 240-volt, 70-ampere stations unveiled today at five locations along Highway 101 provide the fastest recharge time available in a public setting, allowing EV drivers to charge up in one to three hours. The stations are located in retail areas, and Rabobank is letting people plug in and charge up at no cost.

There are lots of encouraging details buried in this story. First, while the stations are just designed for Teslas at the moment, they’ll soon use a universal plug so they can charge any electric car. Second, one of the recharging stations (in Santa Maria) gets its electricity from a solar plant. Combining solar with EVs makes for virtually zero-impact driving. This proves that’s an achievable goal. And as the technology advances, more and more charging stations can move to solar. And finally, according to Wired.com these stations cost $7,000 to $12,000 to install. Compare that to $500,000 for a Better Place battery exchange station or considerably more for a conventional gas station.

The obvious concern, of course, is that it still takes three hours to refuel your car. But that doesn’t need to be the case forever. If the folks at MIT can make their super fast-charging batteries work all of a sudden you have a viable, convenient replacement for gas.

UPDATE: The price of electric cars themselves is also an issue. On that point, Fisker Automotive just snatched up half a billion dollars in government loans, most of which will go towards their $39,000 EV project.

AFTERNOON OPEN THREAD IS UP

You're not wrong. I think media like HuffPo just HAVE to find someone to compete with Mrs. O and out of ALLLLL the political wives, she's it. I think HuffPo must have her publicist on staff there. I've never seen so many pics and news blurbs about someone!

Bruni was a fixture in Europe before they even knew who Barack Obama was. Sarkosy got rid of his other wife for her. He wanted to be seen as the bridge between Bush's capitalist society and French sensiblity. Bruni was part of the charm.
Michelle's dynacism was unknown to Europe and most of America as well. Trust me it is Carla whom is jealous. Her man isn't the leader of the free world and no one is grabbing his ass.

Fantastic.

By the way I saw another project but it had no useful data. These kids at a North Wales school created a bog/swamp/wetlands outside the school. I am trying to follow up.
