    Wow, this is the tipping point. The internal combustion engine is obsolete. http://goo.gl/ul1Pzj

        .@paulg Meh -- I'll believe it when these cars are for sale. MB/BMW/Audi have been showing prototypes for years. No electric 3series yet.

        @paulg @TrampolinRocket Yup. We can convert to plugin hybrid faster than all-electric but ultimately my Volt is just a transitional species.

        @paulg less obsolete. More taxed to death.

        @jettbriggs @paulg Oil and Petrol engines have had massive explicit and implicit subsidies for years. Taxation levels that playing field.

        @yvanscher @paulg True. Crony capitalism :( Still doesn't = c. engine tho. "obsolete." U R conflating market manipulation w/ the tech itself

        @jettbriggs @paulg I'm saying manipulation => less clear which is superior. My vote is for the *non-fire based* tech. Fire is a bit dated.

        @jettbriggs @paulg I think solar will be cheap enough to win w/o rigging. Don't hear a lot of this these days *thank tech gods for China.*

        @jettbriggs @paulg I like that. The implication being that subsidies generally warp or offset the loss mechanism that naturally functions?

        @paulg @rafmanji significant, but not what the article says. Hybrid cars still use combustion engines.
