1. Consider a 100-mile-per-charge electric vehicle with a cost of $5 per charge. What cost point would send you to buy an electric car?

  •  The Telsa is awesome! I'm signing up for one at the $55,000-$75,000 price point.
  •  The Nissan LEAF SV and others at about $30,000 have my attention. That's my next car.
  •  These prices are just too high for me, especially for a new technology. The price would have to drop to less than $20,000 before I'd reach for my wallet.
  •  No way I'd ever buy electric as long as electric power comes from dirty coal. •
  •  I take my bicycle. I don't need any car.
  •  Electric cars? No way. I've always driven a gas-powered car and always will.
2. What kind of fuel do you think would provide the best energy future?
 
  • We have enough oil to make gasoline for the rest of my life, so I'm sticking with that.
  •  We need a reliable electric battery-- powered by renewable energy like wind and solar. 
  •  We need a reliable electric battery-- powered by new sources like algae, tornado pools, lightening and more.
  •  We should be using natural gas to power our cars: it's much cleaner that oil.
