        <description><![CDATA[Elon, Tesla and Space X Save the World!-Amazon.com/Barnes and Noble.comRead the new novel by Mark Ellenbogen-God Shuffled His Feet!! Elon Musk, Tesla and Space X take an active role in saving the world. Humorous, well researched and a tribute to Musk's forward thinking and innovation. Have fun reading as the main characters test drive a Tesla Roadster and Space X develops a MagLev drive for land, see and space travel.]]></description>

        <link><![CDATA[http://www.smartplanet.com/forum/discussions/1-10894-73628]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[probably 80% of cars aren't ever driven far enough in a day to require more than nightly slow charging. The other 20%, no one is forcing you to give up your gas car. A family could keep 1 gas car for long trips, and any other cars switch to electric. Also, for a yearly roadtrip to Las Vegas or similar, you could always rent a car.Complaining about not charging fast enough is an apples and oranges comparison, you need to fill your gas tank fast, because you have to go to a specialized location, and take your turn waiting on it to fill up. It may be out of the way, and you have to wait right there until it is done. An electric car, you fill up while you are sleeping, without putting any extra mileage on to get there. There is no need for it to happen in 5 minutes.]]></description>
