Hi all,

the age of the electric car may finally be here. It only takes one of the major car companies to sell an electric vehicle for them to take off in the mass markets. If the masses go electric, then we will see the beginning of the end for the ME Muslim terrorist countries' oil hegemony. That will be good for the global economy, the environment, and global security, as ME Muslim countries are marginalized by their lack of money. Check out this article:

Nissan plans to sell electric cars
Japan's No. 2 automaker will also pursue hybrids to catch up with Honda and Toyota.
November 26 2006: 9:15 AM EST

Tokyo (Reuters) -- Nissan Motor Co. plans to develop and start selling subcompact electric cars powered by self-developed lithium-ion batteries in about three years, the Nihon Keizai (Nikkei) business daily reported on Sunday.

Japan's No. 2 automaker also plans to develop and sell gas-electric hybrid cars by 2010 in an attempt to catch up with rivals Honda Motor Co. and Toyota Motor Corp. in the field of eco-friendly vehicles, Nikkei said.

In co-operation with its French partner Renault SA, Nissan will speed up the expansion of its line-up of diesel cars, that are in growing demand globally, Nikkei said.

Nissan will also strive to develop bioethanol cars with the help of Renault, Nikkei said, adding that the Japanese automaker would provide Renault with fuel cell and hybrid car technologies.

Company officials were not immediately available for comment.
