Even within the automotive industry there are innovative companies. Tesla Motors, for example, a tiny company in San Carlos, Calif, was founded by Elon Musk, the co-founder of PayPal. Tesla is building an all-electric roadster for the high-end market. It plans to expand into broader markets when the technology becomes cheaper. Maybe we should look beyond the automotive sector to invest the $50 billion slated for GM. The availability of cheap and abundant fuel sources cannot be taken for granted anymore. And even the most fuel-efficient car is not going to address traffic congestion issues. It is unrealistic to assume that we can solve this problem by building even more freeways without serious quality-of-life implications. We may very well be seeing the beginning of the end of the age of the automobile.   11-12-2008, 09:22 PM   #24 TEG Tesla Fan     Join Date: Aug 2006 Posts: 5,949 Ugh.

O'Connell said it also is important for the new administration to continue and expand the U.S. government's loan and loan-guarantee programs. Tesla is waiting on a $200 million loan from the Department of Energy to help it build its first factory in San Jose and move its headquarters here from San Carlos. O'Connell, who worked for the Bush administration's State Department before joining Tesla, has heard that Obama plans to create a National Energy Security Council that is on par with the National Security Council. "We think this is a great signal that they intend to handle things from the center, and not simply through agencies," he said.
