Don't let oil companies buy our precious battery technology! That is a public good like water. Instead, force them to charge what gas really costs us in wars, and a blighted future on this planet. Gas would need to be $20 a gallon to fund the continuing plunder of the Middle East, and to adequately look after our returning troops. Make the oil companies hire the mercenaries (Halliburton) directly as a Cost of Doing Business. Don't have us taxpayers fund their wars. Let them make more money selling less gas, as it dwindles to its end. We will be driving the Volt! And on this question: NO! Don’t let oil companies buy our precious battery technology!

Of course apartment owners will add plugs to entice renters just as they added cable for their tvs and WiFi for their laptops. Triust the market! Duh! This transportation revolution will create entrepreneurs who will build thousands of Solar Parking garages we'll leave our vehicles plugged in to while we are at work.

The day will come when the oil companies own the car companies, then we will all be screwed.

Gas burning engines are notoriously inefficient in comparison to electic motors.
