Electric Cars

Friday, May 29th, 2009

A friend of mine sent me a link to Left Coast Electric and after I read through the site and saw the video it really sparked my interest.Now I know that given the current energy crisis we are now experiencing electric cars have been one of the many ways we can ween this country off imported carbon based fuels.

Now as I see it we have to take into consideration price because when at the end of the day to go green cost a lot green and especially when it comes to the electric car
market. GM has entered this market showing off there Chevy Volt with a confirmed price tag of 39,000.00 dollars is just to high and out of reach for the masses.

On the other end of the spectrum is the the Tata Nano with a price tag of 2500.00 dollars for the gas powered version and soon to be released will be an electric version with a price point somewhere around 4200.00 dollars.Tata motors is trying to make transportation affordable but I guess I do need a bit more form with than function when comes to my ride and there cars just look like go carts.

So here comes Left Coast Electric they will take an existing car and covert it to an electric car for the price of a new honda civic or any other entry level compact car (17,000.00) in my opinion that is within reach of most consumers and and it will pay way more dividends than buying that Civic.

1.It would reduce the amount of fossil fuel we would need to power our cars.

2.It would greatly reduce the number of cars in that are in junk yards and land fills polluting our environment.

3.It would reduce the amount toxic emissions that our cars spew into the atmosphere.

4.With mass production of these systems and components you will see the price come down and a whole new cottage industry that will create jobs and stimulate the economy.

Now I know we all want to do our part to make this world a greener place to live but for now it just seems out of reach financially for most of us but if companies like Left Coast Electric can succeed we will all benefit from there success for years to come.

Daniel Nolan,The Artist & Writer

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

I recently visited an interesting blog, Von Trapper Keeper and watched a video that was aired on Cambridge Cable Television. Dan Nolan is freelance artist and writer and avid sports fan and after I watched the video I directed my attention to his web site http://dannolan.com/ and poked around for a while and what I found in Dan’s work  that he has a firm grasp on capturing the sentiment and feeling of what he is painting, I especially liked the R. Crumb portrait as well as his baseball themes.

But I feel where Dan’s really shines is his ability to meld his talents as an artist and a  writer with “Business Casual Stag Devil Death Boy”

Now I am not en expert on graphic novels but I have read “Watchmen” and “Dark Tower”although these are not the same theme  I feel Dan’s work was every bit as interesting as well thought provoking and well worth the 25.00$ investment.

Dan also mentioned in the interview that he was trying to sell his paintings in an around Fenway Park but has come up against some of the local red tape with regard to obtaining a peddlers license and that is where I feel this system is broken.

Dan supports himself entirely from his work as an artist and has a very special product that would appeal to any fan of the Red Sox  and they won’t let him within five miles of the ball park, I just think thats wrong and I hope this will change in  the future. 

 Dan does some really great work and I hoping that he will get the success that   he  and his work deserves.
