The world's main manufacturers of combustion engines for motorbikes,
cars, trucks and ships are stalling the world's switch to plug-in
electric engines in order rto protect their billion dollar profits.
But the time has come for the auto industry to take the leap forward
and embrace the plug-in electric engine as the clean way forward for
all transportation. Back in the 1980's electric cars proved that plug-
in engines are quick, reliable and affordable. The establishment of
the Electric Vehicles Transition Commission with a $50 billion budget
to bring battery technology into line with prototype electric powered
engines - ready for rapid deployment transition into the mainstream of
transportation - would bring about a phase out of all fossil fuel
combustion engines by 2020.

Los Angeles had a marvellous public transport system that was bought up and
closed by the motor manufacturers to make people dependent on cars. I do
not trust the auto and oil giants one bit.
Only legislation will make them change.

Nope, the Automotive X-Prize will do more with far less.
