So, we should make murder legal because that law limits the Mob? If we didn't laws and regulations to HELP the market, 90% of the medicines we take would either be unsafe, or simply sugar pills. I applaud california for trying to help our environment and for trying to push the market in the RIGHT direction. Do you know why it cost GM $80,000 (thats including R&D, NOT including state rebates)? Its cold economy of scale. Had GM mass produced this car, (instead of say, make 1,000 or so cars TOTAL) it would cost a hell of a lot less then, lets say...a Hummer? Oh yeah, thats right, GM put the hummer on the map a month after it finished off its EV1s. The market didn't want hummers and big run-over-your-neighbor SUVs. Detroit convinced people that these were "safer, bigger is safer, you want your kids to be safe right??" and THATS why the SUV is around. Had GM given the EV1 the same kind of media spin, we might all be driving electric cars getting 400 miles per charge, with a 20 minute charge time. The fact of the matter is that Big Oil bribed GM to drop the car, because for every EV1 that hit the road, was another 4,368 gallons of gasoline not sold (13 gallon/tank, 4 times a month, 12 months/year, for 7 years) which is $13,194 in gasoline.

Yeah, **** GM

**** GM. Have any of you heard of the EV1? GM produced an electric car from 96-99 to meet California's new clean air act that stated so many cars had to be pollution free. GM came out with this EV1 to fulfill these new standards. After putting $1 billion into the development and marketing of this car, GM decided that it would be cheaper to sue the state of California and overturn this clean air mandate than to make an electric car. I'm not saying that this car was all that great, but at least it was a start. Big Oil was able to kill GM's electric car once, whose to say it won't do it again?

Has anybody thought that once these kids get these, they'll use them to get onto ebay, and pretty much use the laptop to sell itself on ebay? Hell, in some of these countries, $100 is a lot, and there has got to be some kids who would prefer the cash to the laptop
