I am a little ashamed in your selection of articles OWB. You could have found a hundred or more articles that marvel at the new Tesla prototype, yet, you choose the most biased, and factually incorrect, one to post here. In the very fact that the author of this spam mentioned the pile of money that Haliburton made, shows he has done absolutely no research on KBR's bottoms line for their work done in Iraq. If he had, he would have known KBR and Halliburton actually lost money in Iraq...and lots of it!
Anyway, the Tesla does indeed sound like a nice little car. However, for $80,000 it is still far outside the price range of Ford and GM's primary consumers. Also, it is true that the emissions that eventually make their way into the atmosphere would now come more in the form of power plants than in auto exhaust. And since NIMBY seems paranoid about the evils of nuclear power, most power plants still burn coal.
