Obama's car battery: 'Next generation'

Now that the responsibility for the AIG bonuses has been placed squarely on President Teleprompter, it will be interesting to see how his press buddies will try and cover that fact up.

And the game plan so far is--not even talk about AIG. If it's poison for the Dems--avoid it!

As you can see from today's Swamp, we have 2 articles on Michelle Obama doing nothing of any import, something about Jay Leno, a gusher about Desiree somebody or other, and President Teleprompter talking about nothing in particular.

At Redstate.com Moe Lane nails it:

"So, let us review the bidding on the AIG bonus scandal, and who’s being blamed for it.

The Senate, in the person of Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT), is blaming the executive branch, pretty explicitly.

The House, in the person of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), is likewise blaming the executive branch - but she’s also blaming the Senate.

The White House doesn’t want to blame anybody… but AIG is like a suicide bomber (H/T Hot Air), and a “senior government official” is just plain “outraged” at that awful Congress for passing this. But Obama’s not about pointing fingers about how it could be the Republican’s fault - which is good, because as Ace points out our only contribution to this mess was Senator Olympia Snowe’s (R-ME) language in the debt bill that would have prevented these bonuses in the first place (that was before Dodd/Geithner/The White House/The Easter Bunny took them out, of course). Nope. It’s all Obama’s responsibility - but not his fault!"

Here is my 3 for 1 $25 Billion government plan for electric vehicles, the American auto industry, and what we need more as a country than anything else, JOBS.

It starts here: "The president touted the availability of $2.4 billion in funding "to put American ingenuity and America's manufacturers to work producing next generation Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles and the advanced battery components that will make these vehicles run.",

and continues with rebates for American Automobile makers battery powered, or even alternative fuel in the beginning, cars.

There would be the base metrics consisting of time, distance, etc. that scientists consider important for future developments in these fields. These metrics would have built in increases, in increments for goals to be met to keep qualifying for these "rebates".

If it currently costs GM, Ford, or Chrysler to produce a battery powered car for $60,000 that would normally cost $35,000, the initial rebate would be all or most of the difference in price, $25,000. Now, if we had 1 million car sales at this rebate next year( which is highly improbable with total car sales predicted below 9 million), the total cost would be 25 billion for 1 year.
As years go on, the rebate would be smaller, as the cost of these alternative powered "engines" go down, but the number of the alternative fuel or battery powered cars will have increased dramatically with these government rebates. At this time, that should be our worst problem- giving rebates for tooo many battery powered vehicles.

All government cars will eventually be of these new generation cars, with current and future purchases tied to their development schedule. Today these would include all those generic white Dodges driving around town, post office equipment, etc. When we have perfected alternative power, police vehicles would even be included in government car buying.

Just think how much further we'd be if it wasn't for GM? As to who almost killed the electric car here's some insight:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_RAV4_EV

Yep back in 1997 toyota had fully electric cars. Killed in 2003 by a lawsuit from Chevron, who inherited the rights to the battery technology when they merged with Texaco who purchased them from, care to guess? Yep GM! Chevron then closed down and dismantled the plant that made these batteries.

I'd say let GM shut down, screw em, they sure screwed us! Oh yea I try not to buy anything from Chevron either.

Dude
Abides

Just waiting for somebody in the press to ask President Teleprompter, "Where are you going to find the electricty to power these cars?"

Because plug-ins need recharging. Recharging means more unsightly power lines, more power plants and more generators. And has our Teleprompter-in-Chief ever favored more coal powered plants? more nucleur plants?

Actually, yes to both. Try reading some time, you might not end up being so ignorant.

i made a battery that recharges itself new system never been made before and i work for no company. this system will drive a car as far as you want to go. runs 24 hours a day 7 days a week never needs pluged in has its own recharging . no gas oil or coal needed. hc 60 box 114 salyersville ky.41465 your thinking in the wrong direction.

i am douglas puckett my battery that recharges itself is magnettic nano tech. by using water with it never needs recharging . i can not give out all the secret but this battery has been running for a year now . i use my own money i hope to get funding to show more people how to make

doug puckett battery has been doing all the electric for a house and has run everything with no hook up from the electric company my neighbor is next to install one
