I was off by a few miles but here ya go.

Tesla Motors - how it works

wow... beautiful car... I poked around on the site a lil but was unable to find a price... any idea what it will go for? Will they be expanding the line to include sedans? as it sure didn't appear to have room for me to carry my cats, or groceries either, for that matter...

Where's the nearest fusion plant?

109 large and an 18 month waiting list.


Tesla Motors - Reserve a 2009 Roadster

100k to 120k there about depending on options. They are planning on doing a 50k sedan and a 30k sedan at some point. I heard the last part on a podcast I listen to. He owns one of the roadsters (pre order) so he owns one of the very first Tesla's to be released. I am sure development and sales of the 50k and 30k cars will depend on how many of the roadsters they sell and how the venture capital is looking. I really do think that going towards electric cars is one of the best ideas to come around. And with companies building a car that accelerates similar to a Corvette C6 there is even less reason not to own one.

We are a very vain country. If a company starts building an electric car that is sexy then more people will pick it up. It is hard to look cool in a Prius.

Yeah, but imagine if we were spending $12 billion a day on fusion power instead of Iraq.

You wouldn't need to make it cold, per se, you would just need to keep the reaction under control without using more energy than the reaction puts out. Or you could make it cold.

The nearest one to me is at Princeton University.

I'm not asking for a research center but an actual working power plant.

Thirty years ago fusion power was 40 years in the future. What is the current prognosis?

Not a research center, they have a working fusion plant. It just consumes more energy than it puts out.
