What a perfect textbook discussion of two different points along a single capital-labor tradeoff curve in a production function, like British versus American thread spinning operations in the eighteenth century, where the consumers real world vote on resulting relative quality and price are what declares the industry market share winners (much lower price for somewhat lower quality (to a mimimum quality constraint) wins, ceterus paribus). Now watch someone talk about productivity issues, like UAW workers playing poker, and totally muddle it all up. Oh, you just did that. You get a zero on your midterm exam.

This seems to be a battery thread, and info about Nissan, so might as well through in another announcement from Nissan from today.

They announced TWO new battery plants (1 in UK, 1 in Portugal), both can build 60,000 packs per year. So thats three plants all with 60,000+ capacity, all open by 2011. I would say Nissan has fully embraced the EV platform.

Thats a lot of EVs, I dunno if there is that kind of demand (180,000+/per year) to support their goals …I wish them good luck anywhoo.
