Andy Grove for Auto Battery Technology and Production Czar

Andy Grove for Auto Battery Technology and Production Czar

"To wean itself from imported oil, the U.S. must create a strong electric car industry. The answer may lie in Silicon Valley."

Read the article Andy Grove wrote in the attached link where he explains the need and the how of gaining technological and production lead of batteries in the world for America.

The oil vultures have recently lowered oil costs but we know they will increase prices for gasoline and heating oil back to the $5 per gallon level or even higher soon. The oil vultures can destroy America by making transportation and heating our homes unaffordable. Leading battery technology and production in the world will prevent the oil vultures from severely disrupting America.

Since President Carter was in office America suffered excessively high prices and sometimes shortages. Just when public opinion becomes inflamed to do something about it the vultures increase supply and lower prices lulling America to become less inflamed and to lower national priorities to do something about it. We should never forget the excessive prices and sometimes shortages by the vultures.

President Obama and Energy Secretary Steven Chu should organize an industry council - like the World War II Production Board - and run it as if we were under wartime pressure. He can pull in the National Academy of Engineering and the National Science Foundation and have them recommend the technical approach. He can use the National Labs for R&D. Congress should back it also.

Andy Grove would be a great CZAR to lead battery technology and production for America. Andy Grove is a scientist and lead Intel for many years at the highest levels. Read his article in the attached link. Andy Grove is ahead of everyone in leading battery technology and production for America.
