Peak Oil News http://MrEnergyCzar.com This is Peak Oil News. I'm your host, MrEnergyCzar. We're covering Peak Oil, Renewable Energy, Electric Cars and everything in-between. • Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/MrEnergyCzar.PeakOil • Twitter: https://Twitter.com/MrEnergyCzar • Tesla continues to dominate the EV headlines with consumer reports saying its the best car they've ever tested. Some politicians have called Tesla an outright loser probably because it doesn't use oil as it's main fuel source and they took a loan from the government which they now plan on paying back years earlier. They also had their first quarterly profit in history which helped their stock price recently soar. One drawback of the Tesla review was that you have to plug it in every couple hundred miles. • The Transition flying car inches closer to production. This 2 seat road worthy aircraft has had delays. Its unusual design allows you to drive it like a car, fill it up with unleaded gas and park it in your garage. My concern is, since it is an aircraft, small fender benders on the road might end up grounding the plane and costing you a lot in repairs. • China is building the world's tallest building called SkyCity. It will be a pre-fab building that will be erected onsite in 90 days. It will be about 30 feet taller than the Burj skyscraper in Dubai. A person can live their entire life in SkyCity which is over a half a mile tall. There will be a school, a hospital, office space and a million square feet of organic vertical farms. SkyCity will house about 30,000 people and supposedly it can handle a 9.0 earthquake.
