Excellent post Unidentified. I wish there were more like it... Very positive.
I didn't know where to post this, but I would like to share. I just read an interesting article about the new electric Chevy Volt set to be made in 2010... pretty interesting.
The new battery technology currently being developed would need a place to be manufactured/distributed once electric vehicles become the norm. With the sq footage, rail road, and easy truck delivery... the plant location has potential. (just my thoughts)
In the past I have posted about the Tesla Roadster, but here are some links for more affordable alternatives...

I would love to see a poll and article about going green. I can't think of a single person who wants to pay up to $6 a gallon (this summer?)

JVLforNOW good ideas! I guess I would wonder what the possibilities of keeping a plant to manufacture something else would be as well. A wealthy visionary is what this town needs now, someone who could take advantage of this opportunity. This town has the muscle to get work done, so the question is, who or what needs to be manufactured on a LARGE scale??

Ok, so the plant will close. What I want to know is, what will happen to the plant itself? If there is already a plant, why couldn't it be re-used and restructured for something else? I mean... what are the other options? Tear it down and do what?

mark707 electricity is not solely manufactured by burning coal. Water, wind, solar and nuclear plants are all capable of producing electricity. The beauty of an electric vehicle is it's flexibility in how many ways electric energy can be made. The tesla website is very informative, I encourage you to read through some of the FAQ's and such.

Less than 2 cents per mile. The whole term of "miles per gallon" will be a thing of the past.
Will it be "miles per dollar"? I like the sound of "over 50 miles per dollar".
I know someone inevitably will post about how expensive that car is, but you know what poster, the price will drop in time.
The price of technology will always drop while the price of fuel will always rise.

dkush21, good thought. "Going Green" is going to be a huge movement in the right direction to become free of our oil dependencies among many other positive reasons. Also, it would be really great to see a policy where products manufactured outside of the country have a higher tax, and products made within the country have little or no tax. I would think that would really boost our economy and promote American jobs.
