Tesla Motors

The world is changing, and quickly.

I had been planning that my dream car would be an Aston Martin, perhaps the V8 Vantage.

With its impending sale though, the future of the brand is in doubt.

A hybrid-electric car is also interesting, but it lacked a performance edge to make it totally attractive.

But now there's a new cool high-performance car on the block!

From Tesla Motors.

Zero to Sixty in four seconds -- like a Lamborghini!

And it's not even a hybrid, but totally electric!

Range of 250 miles per charge, much like a regular car.

Cost: one cent per mile. Which is like getting 135 miles per gallon!

Initial production sold out in four months and the list is being taken for 2008.

And you'll need $100,000.

But they are planning to roll out one at half that price in not too long.

And without oil money, the islamic world and its jihad will fade back into the sands.

It's a race of technologies: can we get off oil before they get the A-bomb?

Oh yeah, it also turns out termites can make ethanol from wood, so bioengineering might make ethanol actually economical on a mass scale...

Any number of good things can happen!
