U.S. DepSec Lew and the Future of Driving

While on a visit to Israel and the Palestinian Authority, on February 21, 2010, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Jacob J. Lew visited the headquarters of the Better Place electric vehicle demonstration center outside of Tel Aviv. While at the center, Deputy Secretary Lew met with Better Place's founder, Shai Agassi, test-drove an electric car, and learned first-hand about the impact that this technology is expected to make in Israel and, eventually, the world over in the near future.

To paraphrase Hillary and agree with Boone Pickens we need to agree that permitting commercial or personal transport to use to have anything to do with oil in barrels is causing irreversible damage and danger to society of civilized peoples.
