Shai Agassi: A bold plan for mass adoption of electric cars

We forget one important thing, that a big, fuel devouring, heavy, engine-roaring car is a "penis enlargement" for many douchebag drivers. How would you convince such a guy, to change his monster pickup, to a light, small, quiet electric car? Many people will cling to their anachronistic fossil fuel cars, like to religious artifacts. One in five humans in developed world is not aware that It's not 90'ties anymore.

When his company puts battery stations where i go then i will consider. The oil companys have already made the effort to market oil to me.

He is half iraqi.

Go Agassi go! =)
I'd buy some shares if I weren't so broke.

Fuck Saudia Arabia.

if you are a speaker and are trying to be taken seriously he should not throw in the occasional white lies.

4 minutes of talk in 20 minutes,

oh god

he's wearing black

another one : )

don't forget.. the oil is the 'blood' of the earth.
oxygen is the breath

animals & us are it's creative beauty
oh yeah..

and if this 'new' way turns out to be another wrong way to go... we won't know it for a 'couple' years
but we STILL end up stopping 'the way' we're goin now

y'know the same amount of money making is STILL there,
don't 'THEY' realize this ?

i love my grand-children !

ps: (only) now the slaves are behind the wall ?
this kicks AZZ !!

ok... so pretend this world is STILL motivated by money... let's give the 'sources' of the energy... ie: oil co's, paper co's etc... 5-10 years closed market... so that they are the only 1's allowed 2 convert over.. then 5-10 MORE years closed market to 'reap the benfits' from the better resource. then, every1 can be converted to better cars, clothes, papers, etc... ??? please ????

What this guy said about hydrogen is wrong. It only causes more waste if you use polluting energy to make it. We make it with solar and wind power. How can it pollute? The only by product of hydrogen is water. On alcohol, we found that Jerusalem artichokes have 10 times the amount of starch that corn has. We run our internal combustion engines on alcohol but we can charge most electric cars with our windmills. We have absolutely no need for the electric company or the oil companies.
