I dont know how many folks could express their simple opinions here in three or four different languages - as "poorly" as I do - so raise your hands.

I could answer in writing to three languages - how about your more refined foreign language performance cleverboys?

Besides knowing whats up in the bigger part of the planet outside the USA confinement...

Thats exactly what I meant - (you family does not count - If I would enter mine in the ring I may easily break the 27+ barrier - the EU has so much members speaking different native languages and me having relatives all over) thank you for your confirming being a proud & hardcore US moron.

Not interested whats going on outside (U)SS Cheney gate - thats the marker!

See the headline - nobody in the US steered media or population feels any remorse neither responsibility for Hiroshima & Nagasaki today - only proudness how clever killing millions by a flick of a switch from high above.
HOW BRAVE INDEED.
Same medicine to civilians from Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Iran to Vietnam or the native American Indians - the list is endless.

Get it?

And there is a lot of positive, non military development going on in the field of EV development in the EU and worldwide the US is currently puffing hard while trying but still not being able keeping pace with or trailing far behind.

Thats what I criticize - where is the US scientific meat?

Where is the highly praised MIT?
Where is the proud NASA?
Where is the scientific military arm of the US army DARPA?

Only bones and no meat - not speaking from fat.

We wait honestly for some valuable contribution from the former indeed praised (I was a dedicated follower, admirer of the USA scientific abilities in every field my childhood - but got wiser) "shining house on the hill" but still get only a stinking piss-bush.

Only killing civilians by remote controlled predators for securing others oil belonging to the own wallet will not tackle the future energy needs.

Neither will bring the stuffing of a few thousand asian made mobile phone batteries in a box help much tackle the transport need of the world in the coming century - dont you think there is more needed?.

Good luck & good night

Why exactly doesn't that count. The fact is that unless you need different languages I can't see the point, I've got other things to spend my time on. And since we are throwing insults, I do hope you don't include English among the languages you "know".

Actually I don't since your english simply makes no sense.

What EV news in Europe? The huge german manufacturers has some mild hybrids which has been developed in cooperation with the US big three. There are several concept vehicles and stuff which is "almost" done from the French and Italian ones. Excepting the feeble attempt the French producers did on their earlier EV's, which simply is similar to the EV1, RAV4-EV generation. The only one actually taking orders for highway capable EVs in Europe is Think and they are producing only slightly faster than Tesla is now. Not mention that car was designed by american Ford, and they don't even make their own batteries but buys them from 2 American companies and 1 European.


Please tell me about all these fantastic European EV offers I can go and buy?

Please broaden your view a bit to get the real picture

You cannot buy and leave any showroom in the USA today with a day-to-day useful EV US car for commuting in the US today either - but the chances for the US are far slimmer to get one in the near future then for Europe - the answer explained is indisputable here:

http://www.nytimes.com- Flush With Energy

The difference lies (overstated but still) grossomodo in a complete different social behavior and other way of thinking in the EU then in the USA.

Whatever is bought from the US today, besides military equipment, is bought not for its inherent quality (anyone driving a US car in Europe where a gallon is 10$ at the pump is looked at being funny at least) but because the US Dollar (and US merchandise whatever trash quality - look at a Hummers door hinge) is irresistible dirt cheap - and falling - like any developing countries money.

One can be a self-declared moron wherever he lives - even in cultivated Norway

Cobos

If you believe people don't complain about the high gasoline and car taxes in Norway or Denmark you're way out left field. Our populist rightwing party is currently the biggest party on the polls exactly because they claim they will reduce gastaxes and improve the roads. That doesn't mean that most scandinavian communities are usually better on saving gas (if not electricity in Norway). The problem I have is that you immediately goes from there to everything in the US is shit.

I've bought quite a few products from a quality producer of luggage and computer bags called TomBihn. That is a good example of an american company that cares about both quality and is innovative. They do exist in the US as well as mostly everywhere else.

Yes I'm born and has grown up in Norway and lived there all my life. I've also been to the US about many times and all over the country. That means I do have a feel for how many americans think but still see things with a European's eyes. I fail to see any of the problems you state with the US. Some companies sure, but not everything.

Still I see that whatever I say I wont convince you to change your mind so I see no point discussing this any further.
