China taking lead in electric car infrastructure.

well just goes to show you ow much America once again falls behind the rest of the world because of its own greed.

A solid step in the right direction for China.
NGOs are making the difference.

This is exactly what we need. Americans need to stop thinking with their dicks and their 4 by 4 trucks and start thinking about the environment in which we live.
woo! bring back the electric car!

Imagine if we actually BUILT and SOLD electric cars and charging equipment?

That would mean a ton of jobs and factories right here in the US.

But, no, we don't build anything anymore.

Well we do build Wal-marts that are 100 percent stocked with all the stuff China manufactuers, but that's the extent of our manufactuering.

sigh.

But don't worry! McCain and Palin have the radical, bold and innovative solutions that our....hahahaha. I can't even get through that sentence without laughing. If we're defining "Same shit, different day" as innovative and original then, yeah, these "mavericks" are bold.

Of course they are, they have to do something with all the money we've given them.

chinese major cities already have 10,000s of electric bikes throughout the CBD and beyond that are cheap to run, clean, quiet (except when the brakes get old) and ideal for urban transport. This is a natural progression. The comment about if it was run on wind is of course valid and one would hope efforts are being made to add clean electricity to the grid. no one could argue however that electric cars are not cleaner than petrol based ones. this is also a step toward china being more self sufficient and possibly avoiding a resource based confrontation with western powers that have already shown they are willing to go to war for oil.

but the dude had a point when he said this will be coal powered. now if they were straight off wind or solar i would be more impressed. but we still burn coal in the states. it aint no different. they just do it a hell of a lot more. who's is to say who is right and wrong at this point.

finally! some country stands up with there head emerging from where the son dont shine. i mean come on it dont take a damn genuis to figure out this is what america should have done instead of electing bush to put more money in the military. see where the fuck that got us. i dont doubt how successful it will be for some reason..

I am encouraged by the two year time line. Lets just see how successful they are.

And still... nobody is doing anything about the flying-car.

Well I guess when the rest of the world runs out of petrol, China will be the only one still running a viable and affordable transport system. The world needs to rethink this personal car culture though - at least until we work out where we get the fuel from and how much impact using it would have on the environment.

There are many benefits to this. China's economy will sky rocket even further and the environment does not have to suffer.

China can throw money around so let's give them something to buy!!! Inventors Entrepreneurs unite!!!!

China has to do this due to the amount new drivers that will be hitting the road in China. They are quickly becoming a major consumer of gas. The rise of the middle class in China is what is fueling the demand. Imagine if all the people in China drove that would almost 1 billion cars on the roads. Gas will be $14 dollars a gallon in the next five years unless we lower the demand.

I'll be Honest, China is great. Yes, apart from their poor regard for Life and human rights.

Now thats fast tracking a program, not this 10-15 yr crap obama is talking about

well, you can bet one of those ten cities will not be anywhere in TIBET. no reery, re hav erectic ka! re rery lika green technology, we just fucking hate human rights.

Where does the electricity come from?
Sounds nice.
Seems like we've been one step behind China in more ways than one lately.

yay, coal powered, soot spewing cars flooding china!!

Great idea, but I don't know if I can trust what the Chinese government says quite yet.....

we totally need to catch up on this!!!!

I hate China. I love China.

It shows that the China is pushing so not to be dependent on others.

this is awesome they are planning to do this within the next two years while we are drilling for more oil. drill baby drill is our mantra. nice to see the united states is not only loosing its financial prowess but its prestige as well.
