In an article in the New York Times, China is thinking about going to electric and hybrid cars. So i think we all saw the movie in class… what happened to the electric car?! The US totally didnt go for the idea after a couple of years that it was out in the market. will china realize the same thing or will they do things differently? Do you think the US will then follow China, and come out again with the electric cars and hybrid cars? something to think about!
“Chinese leaders have adopted a plan aimed at turning the country into one of the leading producers of hybrid and all-electric vehicles within three years, and making it the world leader in electric cars and buses after that.”
China is already behind in technology since US and Japan already sell hybrid cars,but
“by skipping the current technology, China hopes to get a jump on the next.”
Will this mean that the USA will have now competition from China when it comes to cars. Will they start making the lead cars that everyone wants to buy now. How is this going to affect the Auto crisis.?
China also plans to “go green” with these cars…
“China’s intention, in addition to creating a world-leading industry that will produce jobs and exports, is to reduce urban pollution and decrease its dependence on oil, which comes from the Mideast and travels over sea routes controlled by the United States Navy.”
This is also something the USA has been working on for years now, but yet we see no results at all. Maybe all the change China is trying to do will change other countries perspectives and they can serve as a role model.
