The Sublime & Beautiful vs. Reality

This blog is a record of one man's struggle to search for scientific, philosophical, and religious truth in the face of the limitations imposed on him by economics, psychology, and social conditioning; it is the philosophical outworking of everyday life in contrast to ideals and how it could have been.


-
The chief aim of all investigations of the external world should be to discover the rational order and harmony which has been imposed on it by God
and which He revealed to us in the language of mathematics.
--Johannes Kepler

Technos: Electric Automotive: "Trabant is due for a remake."


I am very much interested in finding a good electric car for a commuter vehicle some day soon. If I get to keep this great job I have, I will (Lord willing...) save up and get one. So to that end I have decided to create yet another category for the electric automobile. I will from time to time post links to articles about the many various proposals in the field of the electric car.

This link has an article about the idea of building a modern remake of the environmental nightmare that is the Communist built Trabant. This lame attempt to compete against Volkswagen has some charm in it's hideous design, but this time it could not be so bad if it had an electric drive-train and the price was really cheap. Perhaps the German company could have the cars built in China or maybe in partnership w/ companies like BYD battery company et al, etc.
