Re: [DMCForum] the EV1...

Sort sighed article,  myoptic in its analysis. Misleading it is 
implications.

Where are the cost savings associated with reduced CO2 emissions?
Oh, those are "Externalities"  (in economic terms)  so they are not 
quantified.  BS

Where are the environmental costs of oil drilling and supply?.   How 
about the cost savings of not
having a mideast war over oil of the future that will cost many 
trillions of dollars?

The cost of this stupid Iraq war is now almost $1 trillion dollars.  
That is about $10,000 per car in the US.
Spending $10,000 more on a car to double its mileage would eliminate 
the need for mid east oil.

Gee, wouldn't that be a good idea?   Of course, at that point, there 
would be an over supply of
oil and the price would drop to below $1 per gallon.  BUT WE WOULD BE 
FREE FROM THEIR OIL!

The comments on nickel refining ASSUME that all the nickel is used in 
hybrid cars.
Get real.  Most nickel is used in Stainless steel.   This is just 
misleading and inaccurate perspective.
The amount of nickel used in NiMH batteries (which are recycled because 
of their very high value) is insignificant compared to SS.
