White House Wants 1M Electric Cars By 2015

Posted by Soulskill on from the way-too-many-and-yet-way-too-few dept.

coondoggie writes "The White House has outlined a wide-ranging plan for putting one million of what it calls 'advanced technology vehicles' on the road by 2015. Most observers would say that is a good start, but is it reasonably doable? The next White House budget will include a number of investments and enticements to make the goal achievable in theory. Of course, not all of the provisions are likely to make the cut."

    There won't be a million people left in the country who can afford them in 2015!

    I'm referring to the Mayan Apocalypse of course, the economic recover is totally working.

    Cars in your house, in the woods and in the lakes is what you mean, I guess.

    Where are they going to _park_ 1 million cars in, at, or near the white house?

    As a Tennessean, I think it is doable. They just need four million concrete blocks.
