Good argument. In point of fact, India has their population consuming less energy per capita than China does, but with the same growth in population and almost the same GDP per capita.
Now if they could just find a way to make Space Travel inexpensive, maybe we could colonize Mars, which we now know has water on it's moons and on the planet.
Amazingly, there are actually people living outside of the I-5 corridor. I know, seems crazy - but it's true. There are people, in the US even, that live on the Atlantic Ocean side of the continent!
Nobody cares about you Takers in the tax-subsidized non-GDP-creating rest of the country.
Tesla has a series of battery swap stations all along the I-5 corridor, from San Diego CA to Vancouver BC and on some other routes like the 101 through Santa Barbara.
You literally swap the battery - takes about as much time as filling a tank of gas.
At current projected usage, Tesla is threatening to use up all the supply of batteries by 2016, and then there'll be trouble. I foresee a US invasion of Fremont in the near future as mayor Gus Morrisson continues to engage in belligerent talk and saber rattling related to commercial zone redistricting and increased parking fines. Rumors still abound regarding the untimely demise of his predecessor Bob Wasserman. Was it pneumonia, or something far more sinister?
Is a 'gigafactory' one that is a thousand million times bigger than a typical Detroit automobile factory? I am not quite sure I understand the term....
It means it has a cool name, and has a googleplex of ideas.

Just because something is legal, doesn't mean it's a good idea.

Look, the cold hard fact is that Facebook is dying, and there have been no signs of any reversal of that in people under 30.
It's even being actively removed from cell phones.
The metrics are there, if you know how to look.
(no, I will NOT do your work for you)
This is a very good idea.
We could use it to pay for STEM degree tax exemptions for Middle Class American citizens and their kids.
Just because corporations lie all the time, it doesn't mean they won't stop lying someday ...
IBM is well known for outsourcing and abusing H1-B and to a lesser extent L1 and L2 visas.
Mind you, Microsoft is worse.
I never said he knew about them.
But it's good to start somewhere.
Btw I love that vid from the GHCQ feed of US Mac users with their not-really-turned-off vidcams. It makes me happy.
There are more than the two you know of in the US and the one in Mexico, at least in North America.
... oh, wait, did you say $60?
Never mind.
STEM - we have a shortage of American citizens with recent STEM degrees and a shortage of young women with STEM degrees.
The problem is that industry doesn't like to train or retrain people anymore, as they did from 1776 to the 1970s.
You said Fremont.
There are many Fremonts. California has just one of them.
The Fremont in Seattle is the Center Of The Universe, and the Tesla dealership is just a couple of miles away.
GDP "produced" by financial manipulations (NYC) is not really productive GDP.
We make things here. Chocolate, Championships, Cars, Computers, Chips.
I know Wall Street thinks that they "earn" their money, but all financial "products" are really skimming off the productive work of others.
As I understand it, the Model E will be tested in select cities on the I-5 corridor, so you may see it if you live in CA, OR, WA, or BC
Not sure if that is more of a beta or test allocation though, and it might only be for lease vehicles.
And this must also not be true.
Or the one at CNN Money.
Really.
Ok, then I guess the news media lies.
At the EU and Asian auto shows, Tesla was talking about 2015 west coast introduction of a $36k version, as well as something in the $60k range.
I for one welcome our Stasi overlords and their SCOTUS enablers
Of course we are, we pay your bills

We make the GDP - you consume it with imports.
Have you ever thought of changing your name?
For example to Egon?
(what, you said "any question" ...)

Not to worry, we'll activate the Fremont Troll.

Maybe I should just realize that battery factories take time to build, and it's actually the materials that are the stopping point.
They have made significant progress.
Yeah, I heard that at Expo 86 too.
And whenever you think it will get closer, they come up with another reason why it will take another 20 years to be commercially viable.
Been that way since Expo 63.
Will be that way in 2099.
