It looks like the Big3 Detroit automakers are betting on electic cars. Based on the experience of the last couple of years, it seems consumers will buy them...but only if oil is expensive. If oil is cheap, North American consumers will prefer trucks and SUVs (vehicles that are clearly not the focus of the attention at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show). Could it be then that the big 3 are secretly hoping for expensive oil? Say they get what they wish for and start selling electric vehicles like hot cakes, won't that be their success and their demise both? Cause the more electric cars they sell the higher the likelihood oil demand (and prices) will dwindle.
Yet another example of how long term business planning will be extremely difficult in a Peak Oil world.
Oh..and where will the electricity to power this fleet of vehicles come from again?

- Like it or not, the combined forces of climate change and oil depletion mean we will all have to live with a lot less fossil fuel-based energy in the future. This has widespread implications for our way of life. Our group wants to help Greater Monctonians prepare for what could be a tricky transition. We are about: Food sovereignty, Active and public transportation, Energy efficiency, Education & Awareness +++ Qu'on le veuille ou non, l'effet combiné des changements climatiques et de l'épuisement du pétrole signifie que l'on devra à l'avenir composer avec beaucoup moins d'énergies fossiles. Cela suppose des changements considérables à notre mode de vie. Le but de notre groupe est d'aider les citoyens du Grand Moncton à se préparer à une transition qui pourrait s'avérer périlleuse. Nous sommes centrés sur : la souveraineté alimentaire, le transport actif et collectif, l'efficacité énergétique, l'éducation et la sensibilisation.
