Making Australia A Better Place
Posted by Big Gav
Australian motorists organisation NRMA is calling for a network of electric car recharging stations to be built across the country (maybe they read some stories about Project Better Place).
A CHAIN of electric stations should be built across Australia to encourage motorists to switch to the electric car. ...
The NRMA says Australia is running out of oil and will have to switch to ethanol and electric cars. It proposes the government-backed development of a chain of electricity charging stations across Australia, where motorists using electric cars could recharge. The motoring group released a 12-point plan this week designed to fix Australia's reliance on overseas oil. ...
It has also urged state governments to offer lower registration charges for low-fuel consumption cars and make drastic improvements to public transport including rail, urban fast metros, light rail and mixed-mode transport. "We're deeply concerned that there may not be enough oil to go around," one of the report's authors, the CSIRO's David Lamb, said.
