    'Lectro cars and electric utilities

    You are right about the conversion efficiency of electric vehicles from the battery to the wheels. What I was speaking of was the efficiency from the original power source to the wheels.

    Crude Oil headed to $30 per barrel

    They are obviously afraid that some of the "newer" (some no-so-new) technologies will compete with expensive oil. Advertising a lower future oil price will cut-off capital investment in the necessary infrastructure, e.g., shale oil, ethanol, tar sands, etc. due to the long return on...
