(The Swamp) -- I am a gasoline bigot. Always have been.
Ever since I saw an Edison Electric Automobile in the parking shed next to my Grandfather's
home on the South Carolina campus, I have wanted an electric car. I make no secret of this.
Gasoline cars are nasty, smelly, disgusting monsters. Thanks to the eco-nuts, these awful
necessities are now horribly expensive to buy and operate. These, creepy weirdos, are
destroying our economy and having the exact opposite effect from what they wanted. I do
not agree with them. The odd thing is that the world is so upside down, that nobody notices
corruption which masquerades as hope and change.
It is in this milieu of corruption that one of the biggest outrages is currently being committed.
The electric car is its victim. Lithium Iron Magnesium Phosphate batteries is the savior which
is being ignored.
Here is the paradox: Except for unaffordable models, the faster, more powerful electric
cars are not being built. Could it be so, in order to save union jobs at American auto factories,
which produce the dinosaur, less efficient, dirtier-running gasoline cars? Is the new Nissan Leaf,
like all the other electric cars, being built as under-achievers?
The Leaf has half the battery power it could have, and twice the charge time at a price that is
unreasonably large. Nissan KNOWS this, and yet continues to make ready an automobile
they KNOW will not sell well among those who most need it. And, you can forget about the
Chevy Volt. We've already shown that it was created as a government dodge.. no pun intended.
One cannot help thinking that such corporate suicide is being promoted because, somewhere, it
meets some political rule or desire. Whatever the answer, the affordable long-range
powerful electric car is still the one you convert yourself.
Please pass the diodes.
