I helped build my first electric car in '95. Back then, your realistic battery choice was "Optima - yellow or red-top." The press loves to hate on Tesla because he refuses to fellate them. I'm actually a big booster of what he's trying to do but am self-centered and foolish enough to recognize that I often give him a hard time 'cuz his cars are fuggly. Well, and we're diametrically opposed as far as UI. Fuckin'A I hate me some touch screens.

Have you read much Bill McKibben? I find him to be remarkably clear, remarkably compelling and remarkably refreshing.

I had not read it until just now. It doesn't surprise me. He's charismatic, and we can't have that.
