Hughesair (Inflection Point)

Retired physician and air taxi operator, science writer and part time assistant professor, these editorials cover a wide range of topics. Mostly non political, mostly true, I write more from a lifetime of experience and from research, more science than convention. Subjects cover medicine, Alaska aviation, economics, technology and an occasional book review. Globalization or Democracy documents the historical roots of Oligarchy, the road to colonialism and tyranny

Electric Vehicle


Daimler bet 50 million in venture capital on Tesla Motors, a US car company, while the US bet on GM. Strange, the Tesla S promisses a 300 mile range, zero to 60 in 5.6 seconds in a 7 passenge full size sedan. Will it be available in 2011 --- for $49,900? Take a look!
Unfortunately there is fire in our DNA and anything that does not breath fire and roar will be dismissed as something pinko. I think what is needed is for a Tesla or something similar to run the NASCAR circuit and win races by an embarising margin. A bit of lightning out the tail might help.
