Agassi's Electric Car Grid

He is right though. That is VERY basic robotics. I work with robots and if a robot can place a 3 gram part with in a few thousandths of a millimeter of where you want it, it sure as hell can place a big battery in the bay under your car.

Regarding the "Agassi's Electric Car Grid" interview you should do one with ThyseenKrupp engineers that developed the battery pack recharge & exchange station for EVs. Its faster than filling up 10 gallons or more of traditional fuel.

its UNWISE to stop the "massive disruption" of the carbon economy.

vandalism at the charging spots would be at LEAST handled the same way as vandalism at a gas station. At MOST it will be handled the same way that vandalism/tampering cell phone towers is handled (shooting on sight).

Im already in the process of converting a car to electric. im not waiting for the big boys otherwise we'll be wating for ever.

It's refreshing to see Shai still at it and making progress with Project Better Place. It would be tragic if none of our American car companies see the future and go electric. Oh well, if they don't someone else will. Let's just hope it's not just the Chinese or some other country who takes advantage of this amazing and world changing opportunity.

Lets do something about it and start OSWH: Operation Spam the White House

Tell everyone you know to send a message to the White House because you can indeed contact them on their website and contact them without emailing them. The title should be uniform: Electric Infrastructure Now.

I can't do much, but I can tell someone who can do something about it to do a lot. Spread the word of this project around. It needs to happen.

Or tell the Republicans that its the way to save their image...

Why don't we let Better Place follow their current timetable? They are still a small, new company that has to learn the business. After they learn how, they will be able to scale larger and faster. A problem this size needs manageable timetables and capability development.

Huh? They capitulated and weren't as conservative, and lost seats. Apparently that's the part of their image they hurt...listening to advice such as yours.

The message SHOULD be: All those subsidies for green energy? Send them back to the American Taxpayer, and let US figure it out. And this is the future as much as unicorns and perpetual motion engines.

This is what we need. Good luck to all that are involved.
