    No way the prices are true though. No way the cost of a watt today is 1% of what it was then.
    Quality batteries will be the key.

    Sure is. A car has to be able to go 350-400 miles without a recharge. I don't know how long that takes but if it's more than 5 minutes it won't work here.

    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.
