[sustran] Better Place sustainable transportation and business model

[Ramon Fernan]

Don't know if this topic has been discussed here but what do people think of Shai Agassi's Better Place business model for promoting electric cars? More junk on the road? Not even worth considering? Better Place has a website: www.betterplace.com and Agassi has a blog to promote his ideas: http://shaiagassi.typepad.com/. Thomas Friedman of the NYT (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/27/opinion/27friedman.html?_r=2&hp&oref=slogin) has lately been promoting his plan to rid the world of dependence on (Arab) oil. (Agassi is Israeli).
