The benefits of the electric car are staggering. Most are obvious, but the fact that it is readily available compared to any other approach will make it mandatory. The major danger is that it may be blocked by a stubborn corporate world unwilling to see so great a change in the field of transportation. However, there is no time to waste. The first major downturn in oil availability is less than a dozen years away. What most people fail to realize is that oil is produced by 25 different countries at different rates from reserves of widely varying amounts. Half of our global production comes from the twelve members of OPEC, the other half from thirteen countries that have about one third as much oil as OPEC. Who do you think will run out of oil first? Of the thirteen, it should be added, only five actually produce oil for export. It will be OPEC's world and we have to be ready for that. If there is actually a better way, do it! Don't just make cute remarks about systems that are offered to solve the problem. I fully agree with Agassi because I had the same idea years ago before there was an Agassi.

Agassi's plan is to make cars more affordable and prolific, and well, less polluting than traditional cars. We do not need a new electric car which requires special battery charging stations. We need one which can operate on clean and renewable fuel, that you can plug in at home, or at work. I think world powers that are awed by Agassi's plan, need to put more emphasis on creating renewable energies... otherwise, we are putting the cart before the horse. - Karin Israel, and any other small country, for that matter — does not need more cars.

Reducing dependence on crude oil for individual transportation might still be a pretty good idea if someone would finally come up with an affordable car that uses other sources of energy. The current models from Renault-Nissan cost far too much today. There are talks that Renault might invest in a facility in the Galil but I don't see how this might help. Let's hope that India, which is also experimenting with electric means of individual means of transportation comes up with a cheap product ready for mass-production.
