Let the million flowers bloom

Where are French on this?

I wonder how they are planning to charge them? Their power industry has been a bit of a sideshow since they vowed to shutter the nukes after Fukushima. Speaking of France, that's probably where they'll be buying the power to charge these things from IMHO.

Yeah im skeptical...one million cars will need alot of charging spots and what is the environmental impact of the batteries etc.. Not against the idea but it needs to make sense.

German coal needs a lot more years under ground to be really called coal...
