Auto industry sales figures are in and it’s a s**t storm. No surprise. Who the hell wants to buy a new car when the price of gas is $1000/gallon?
It’s time, finally, for Detroit to develop electric cars. Right?
I was watching The Early Show on CBS and there was a bit on the new Tesla all-electric car. I guess it’s really fast and can go over 200 miles before needing a plug-in, into any regular electric outlet, to re-charge. Beautiful. Imagine a world with no gas stations and a lot less smog and no reason to worry about OPEC. I feel better already.
So, Detroit…it’s called the tipping point.

I understand why such a thing happened with the sales of automotive industry. Nowadays, it's really not practical to buy a car which uses diesel fuel or gas because the price of gas is very unpredictable. It's a good thing if we have electric cars running around because it's environmental friendly and we can only have electric charging station. Hybrid cars also seem to be useful but it's a different story since it cost a lot. I hope we can see a wonderful world with less smog in the future.
