As Coda Automotive prepares to launch its all-electric, China-built sedan in California in the fourth quarter of 2010, the Santa Monica company said it is focused on safety.
“We’ve worked to make it a safe car so [that], above all, families can use it,” said Dan Mosher, Coda’s chief financial officer at the Cleantech Forum in San Francisco. “We are working to achieve the highest safety standards so that we can get a five-star crash rating. We’ll have a passenger-side occupant detection airbag, which is the most advanced 2011 model safety standard.”
In recent months, Coda has finalized the sedan’s engineering, settled on component suppliers and announced a joint venture with leading Chinese battery manufacturer Lishen. Last week, it also revealed that it had raised an additional $5 million.
Still on its to do list: meet the government’s safety requirements.

The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.-Thom(Do you think will try it? Tell us here.) -

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
