An electric compact car
Filed under: Electric Cars & Hybrids, Environment, Technology
A step down from the luxury ride of the Tesla Type S Sedan is the Aptera, a compact sized electric car, which looks like it just rolled off a SciFi movie set.
The first sales will be limited to California, and then Florida and Texas. Seriously, I don’t see this thing being able to handle a New England winter.
The Volt won’t “pay the rent”
The word from GM (i.e. Government Motors) is that all the car models need to “pay the rent.” It can’t sell at a profit, it’s gone. Hell, even some of the models that sell at a profit are going.
The interesting exception, the Chevy Volt. Officials at GM admit that the Volt probably won’t be putting red ink on the books for the first couple of model years.
I’ve written about the Volt before. It has some interesting technology, but given Chevy’s financial situation, should it be making exceptions to the “pay the rent” rule?

Clean, safe Nuclear Power making a comeback
Some good news from USA Today, utilities are starting the process to build twentysix new Nuclear Power plants here in the United States.
A recent Gallup Poll shows a record 59% of Americans favor nuclear energy.
Dr. Pournelle nailed the truth of Nuclear Engergy:
I have to say it again: cheap energy will cause a boom. The only cheap energy I know of is nuclear. Three Hundred Billion bucks in nuclear power will do wonders for the economy. We build 100 1000 MegaWatt nuclear power plants — they will cost no more than 2 billion each and my guess is that the average cost will be closer to 1 billion each (that is the first one costs about 20 billion and the 100th costs about 800 million). The rest of the money goes to prizes and X projects to convert electricity into mobility.
Expanded Nuclear Power is the only practical way to supply the level of electrical power needed to support wide spread use of electric and plug in hybrid electric cars.

New iPhone hardware rumors
Apple has changed the rules for the Rev 2, 3G iPhone sales. Customers can buy “unlimited quantities” without the AT&T contract that subsides the price. This is the same tactic Apple used to clear out Rev 1 hardware before they announced the 3G iPhone.
The Apple Developers Conference, June 8-12, would be a good place announce a new rev of the iPhone hardware that will use the new firmware to the best advantage. Apple could use a new iPhone to offset the Palm Pre and new Android phones.

Fujitsu enters the e-reader market
Before you get too excited, it won’t be released until next month, it’s only available in Japan, and it has a $1,000 price tag.
The FLEPia will however have a color screen with touch capabilities. Old School Palm OS stylus touch control though.
The display uses a variant of LCD tech that doesn’t use a backlight. The backlight is the power hog that has kept it from being used in a ebook reader yet.
I wouldn’t call this a threat to the Amazon Kindle or the Sony EBook reader, but it shows the market is opening up.
