Obama wants electric cars for the United States. Chrysler took a few billion from the government to develop an electric car, and planed to have them for sale in 2010. But now the plan has been scrapped. Apparently there was an issue with batteries. I guess Obama is going to have to turn his attention from stopping the rise of the seas (which actually stopped 30 years ago according to the leading expert who bases his opinion on actual data rather than computer simulations), and wave his magic wand to create a super battery.
