Israel wants independence from oil
Israel plans electric car network
Jerusalem (Israel), 26.01.2008 - Israel wants to reduce its dependence on oil imports significantly and build the next few years, a nationwide electric car network of 500,000 charging stations .
The dependence on Arab states for Israel is not politically acceptable. The extensive oil imports by the emerging power structure einer ungleichmäßigen Abhängigkeit bringt auch nicht freundlich gesonnene Staaten in die Position, politischen und wirtschaftlichen Druck auf Israel ausüben zu können. Vor allem aus diesem Grund soll die Abhängigkeit von der Ressource Öl drastisch reduziert werden.
500.000 Ladestationen sollen den Nutzern von Elektroautos in Zukunft zur Verfügung stehen – zum automatisierten Wechseln der Batterien. Das Projekt lässt sich mit den momentan verfügbaren Lithium-Ionen-Batterien realisieren. Jüngste Forschungserfolge auf Basis neuer Lithium-Nano-Strukturen und neuer Keramikmembranen versprechen darüber hinaus deutliche Steigerung der Energiekapazität, Lebensdauer und Sicherheit der Lithium-Ionen-Akkumulatoren bei same significant reduction in load time. The expensive, up to 14,000 € batteries will be leased by the operator of the network for a monthly fee. Renault and Nissan have already committed to develop by 2011 an electric car with a range of over 200 kilometers. The current is obtained at the beginning of the normal network, but will be replaced by long-term solar power. The necessary expenses of Israel for a switch to solar energy production is estimated at five billion dollars (3.4 billion euros).
The startup company Project Better Place "are already 200 million dollars available. $ 800,000,000 is only the infrastructure kosten. Die Initiative wird unter anderem von Israels Regierung, insbesondere von Staatspräsident Schimon Peres, unterstützt. Auch Renault-Chef Carlos Ghosn und SAP-Wunderkind Shai Agassi zählen zu den Unterstützern. Finanziell wird das Projekt vom Staat durch deutliche Steuererleichterungen für Käufer von Elektroautos subventioniert.
Im Zusammenhang mit der Unterstützungszusage durch Renault kündigte der französische Autokonzern an, ab dem Jahr 2011 Elektroautos bauen zu wollen. Diese werden mit Lithium-Ionen-Akkumulatoren betrieben werden und zuerst in Israel auf den Markt kommen. Die Fahreigenschaften sollen dem eines herkömmlichen 1,6-Liter-Benzinmotors entsprechen.

oil price for the first time about 100 U.S. dollars
New York (Vereinigte States), 03.01.2008 wikinews - The oil price has exceeded the mark of $ 100. On 2 January 2008 stayed the price on the stock exchange in New York for a short time at $ 100 for something to fall back shortly thereafter. But only a day later, on 3 January was again reached a new high. 159 liters had to be paid for 100.12 U.S. dollars. Thus, the oil price rose in 2007 to 57 percent.
For the current price trend made political tensions in some producer countries and the seemingly dwindling stocks responsible. Claudia Kemfert, an energy expert at the German Institute for Wirschaftsforschung (DIW), believes it is possible that the petrol price rises soon to two euros per liter. Although would increase energy costs, economic risk, they see not. With increasing demand could also prices of 150 or even $ 200 can be achieved.
