If so, I'm wondering where they think the energy will come from to feed all those batteries. If California can't supply the grid now without rolling blackouts, just wait until LA, Sacto, SF, and the Central Valley commuters go electric. The results would not be unintended consequences. They would be the fruits of stupidity. <BR/><BR/>(I know it's not your idea.)linearthinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201292791445921817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282587.post-60472881251675880732008-04-16T19:36:00.000+00:002008-04-16T19:36:00.000+00:00Unless someone is working on a lithium burning fus...Unless someone is working on a lithium burning fusion reactor, the biggest prospective use for lithium is in PHEV's. Sounds like there is enough lithium around to support that, though I'd like figures, just to make sure.LarryDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10955273945502612268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282587.post-20152080360284904312008-04-16T16:33:00.000+00:002008-04-16T16:33:00.000+00:00Stratfor pointed that out in an article.

By gaining influence in Tibet, India would extend their reach beyond the Himalayas and be able to militarily threaten the Chinese heartland. (Note that the Dalai Lama has his home base in India these days.)<BR/><BR/>That's probably enough explanation for me.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01039999711990701720noreply@blogger.com
