future value of classic performance cars,when to bail out, before the crash?

The grid infrastructure, dramatically increased power generation requirements, and the massive investment in same to support countless millions of hybrid/electric vehicles plugging in every night is a pipe dream. A "dark" and dangerous one at that.

Let's see an analysis that would provide the real world wide investment cost (staggering to be sure) and also include the petroleum (emissions?) needed to build an electric vehicle. Most governments are already technically bankrupt. Fossil fuels will reign and combustion engines will be the norm for generations to come pending a nuclear solution. Whatever the future solution is it won't be a storage battery!

In typical govt/Big bizness fashion, they are hoping that the grass roots will spend their billions developing the infrastructure, then they can sweep in and claim the profits and just mandate laws that increase those profits.

There is an article somewhere that chronicles the manufacture of the batteries needed to power electric vehicles. Not available on any map, and certainly not touted by the greenies, because it details the strip mining of lithium, the transport and manufacture of the batteries by diesel generating functions, and the transport of the cars from factories not in the US. Not something the left would like you to see, just get in line and drink the Kool-Aid!
