James Rickards: Debate - Are Our Best Days Behind Us, Or Should The World Still Bet On America?

  With companies like Tesla Motors and Apple, America still has its chance despite all the unfolding financial mess and mounting debt. But when this technological advance will be fully embraced?

"America owes $6 trillion to China, our sprawling military complex often appears helpless against disparate threats abroad, and the War on Terror has stripped us of the moral high ground. Washington is paralyzed by bitter partisanship, our children are falling behind their international peers, and our middle class is no longer the world's most affluent. But we've been warned about America's decline before. Remember Sputnik? Yes, times are tough, but America is recovering from the Great Recession faster than any other advanced country, an energy boom could add billions to the GDP, we're still a leader in technological innovation, and our military strength and geopolitical advantages remain unrivaled. Are our best days behind us, or should the world still bet on America?"

Should Automakers Be Afraid Of An Apple iCar And Why Not Just Buy Tesla?

Why Apple do not just buy Tesla? I prefer them to go the different roads and bring the real mass market for electric cars.

  

Apple Electric Car: Could An iCar Be Coming?

"We have more reports on Apple iCar and I do hope that Tim Cook will go for it this time and make his name the history as well. At International Lithium we are getting ready for this mass market EV rEvolution. Apple can bring it so much faster now. You can find more research on the Apple iCar on the links below. Read more."

Oil Wars: U.S. Shale Oil to Crash American Economy.

  Plunging commodities and rising US Dollar are signalling deflation, will ECB QE save the world with Chinese stimulus now? Can FED really raise the rates in this situation? Yesterday's run on Gold could show us the things to come. FED Open Mouth Committee can start to talk the US Dollar down now. Euro is weak enough already to hurt US corporations earnings. Triple blow from killed Shale Oil, slowing export and going down earnings from overseas will put FED in the corner. Strong dollar means deflation - the very thing they are fighting against now. Once dollar will reverse its parabolic rise we can have our day with gold. Gold above $1,350 will bring this story back on the mainstream investors' radar screens.

Oil Wars: How Low Can Oil Go?

 How low can oil go? What will happen at $20 dollar Oil? Will this crash trigger another financial crisis and Great Recession?

Jim Rickards Discusses Future of Saudia Arabia.

   Oil is the wild card played last year on the backdrop of all Currency Wars. Now the Shale Oil related financing could bring the shock to the whole financial system again.

Just one more thing to get you started your own research. Is it one of the reasons why China is buying so much Gold now?

David Morgan: Oil, Derivatives And Unbelievable Lack of Trust in the System.

Chris Martenson: The Crash Course - Shale Oil. Can We Survive This Energy War?

   "Let's put some numbers and technical details of the "Shale Oil Revolution" into perspective. Please make no mistake: Currency Wars are moving fast into Energy Wars or, more precisely - Shale Oil Wars. The economic miracle in U.S is based on the cheap energy and strong US dollar will be killing it fast. The weaker US Dollar must come to save the Shale Oil now.

  We have the technology to change all this geopolitical picture ones and for all - Electric Cars and Elon Musk with Tesla Motors has demonstrated the power of lithium based power-trains. When finally will it  be fully embraced, using this opportunity of the borrowed time of "Shale Oil revolution?"

Powered By Lithium: National Drive Electric Week: September 15 - 21, 2014.

National Drive Electric Week: September 15 - 21, 2014

"National Drive Electric Week, September 15-21, 2014, is a nationwide celebration to heighten awareness of today's widespread availability of plug-in vehicles and highlight the benefits of all-electric and plug-in hybrid-electric cars, trucks, motorcycles, and more. They are fun to drive, are less expensive and more convenient to fuel than gasoline vehicles, are better for the environment, promote local jobs, and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.

Started in 2011 as National Plug In Day with the simple idea to hold simultaneous events across the country on the same day, by popular demand we are expanding to an entire week of events and changing the name to emphasize the thing we all want to do: drive electric. We expect National Drive Electric Week 2014 will again grow to include more events in more cities with more drivers reaching out to share the many advantages of driving electric with the public.

Each event is led by local plug-in drivers and advocates and typically includes some combination of EV parades, ride-and-drives, electric tailgate parties, press conferences, award ceremonies, informational booths, and more. Plug In America, Sierra Club, and the Electric Auto Association serve as the national team providing support to the events throughout the country. We are pleased to partner with the many other organizations and individuals working to bring National Drive Electric Week to communities across the country.

The Weather Channel did three segments promoting National Drive Electric Week just before the first events with Atlanta co-city captain Michael Beinenson. Kudos to the Weather Channel for great coverage of several of the most interesting plug-in vehicles on the market.

First up, the Chevy Volt and BMW i3:
