Electric Cars are the Future
by Count Meout on May 01, 2011 03:43 PM

Electric cars the future. India needs entrepreneurs to build the next generation cars. For instance, Solar powered charging stations need to be set-up, much like Phone PCOs. Electric cars will then swap batteries at these power kiosks. Nissan is already experimenting with this concept in California with its new Nissan LEAF. Indian government must encourage the development of Electric Car Infrastructure by selecting some of the backward states to develop these new concepts and technology.

one need not be a nobel laurette to tell it. China , brazil and India adds millions of cars, two wheelers on their roads, energy consumption for industries and home is increasing, population is increasing and more number of people are coming out of poverty zone into middle class or lower middle claas region and they need the materials their fathers did not demand. it is not surprising that commodity costs shhots up.

we have too much oil resources. earlier indira gandhi found import of oil commissions a big election fund to congress party. now oil became a essential commodity and we need very badly. why we should not explore our own wells. instead importing taxing too much & making our citizens lives horrible.
