RE:Looks like the rush to tie up raw materialsYep...GREEN Germany. How did that work out for them? They got a rude awakening..now they are going back to coal. Fossil fuels will be the main stay of the world's cheap energy for the next 100 years. What's the main power source for charge electric cars? Does anyone think that people are going to put up with waitng in line for a long time and then another 30 or 40 minutes to power up one's vehicle. More sophisticated techknowlodgy is needed before there is any boom in this industry. The logistics regarding electric vehicles just don't apply to today's average working man/woman.
