It is far past the time the U.S. government helped to mass market pure Electric vehicles. I suggest they retool General Motors and drop their gas burning engines once and for all. Remember what president Bush did to the  EV1. He totally destroyed that great little Electric car and then forgot they ever existed. I suggest president Obama return the favour with the same result to polluting gas burning vehicles. Convert G.M. assembly lines to all Electrics and do it fast. Why? Because the Japanese have already started the process. Why let them have all the fun in 2015. Do this before the Democrats lose and are removed from political office. It takes courage but it is not like starting a war! Bush did that also.
 Contact NASA for ideas on making viable Electric Cars and then sell all Electrics at prices average people can afford. Twenty thousand Dollars or less is a reasonable sticker price for a new  Electric car. Finally, create an electric charging station grid for long distance travel. Today, we are being barraged by gas burning cars on Television and on the WWW. Polluters know how to market cars and there is not a decent pure Electric car in sight. Elon Musk, the maker of the superb Tesla Electric car is currently concentrating on creating a rocket to Mars. I salute his courage and creative intelligence but I and millions of people around the world are riding Bicycles while waiting for affordable Electric cars to hit the market and meanwhile, CO2 continues to build up in the atmosphere. Soon, the proverbial merde is going to hit the fan.
