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."

  1. Jobs? by Kohath · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I thought the administration was going to focus on jobs. Did they forget about jobs already? (Again?)

    Jobs (net, positive jobs) are created when someone actually wants or needs a product and buys it. Net jobs are lost when someone wants a product and he's forced by government to accept an inferior substitute at a higher price to meet someone's political or religious agenda.
