Tesla Motors· Jul 24, 03:54 PM
Driving home last night, I was just thinking that it’s about time for “the next big thing” with energy (nuclear) or transportation (cars that don’t need oil).
An aside: I’m pretty sure that the reason why the US government likes oil so much is because we need a booming oil market to prop up the dollar, extending US influence into the middle east. (Most oil that is bought and sold in the world is paid for in dollars.) I have a hunch that the US gov’t is using American oil purchase power as a component of our foreign policy. This is the opposite of what the TV says: that we meddle in the middle east as a way to get our oil fix.
Anyway, after driving and daydreaming last night, I came home to the lasest Wired magazine with an article about Tesla Motors, a Silicon Valley car company startup making a battery powered car.
I don’t have any credible data to back my opinion, but I think this project could be a turning point for the transportation/petroleum industries. I’m looking forward to it.
Later,
Nate
P.S. FiOS is very nice. Soon Verizon will be offering TV over the fiber – I’ll keep you posted.
(You might have noticed...)
