Priced out of the Pavilion at #Phish
I’ve got lawn seats for the June 26 Phish show out at Merriweather. Today, I took a look at StubHub, hoping there might be a few reasonably priced pavilion seats for the gig. Ah, no.

Carlos Ghosn on Electric Cars
HybridCars.com posted a recent interview with Nissan’s chief. Not sure what percentage of this is green fluff, but here’s an excerpt that sounds nice.
Now, you compound the price of oil going up, emerging markets booming, regulations on emissions becoming tighter and tighter, and dependence on oil becoming a real political problem, not only for developed countries but for emerging markets. China and India depend on oil imports.
There is no way that this can continue. At a certain point, you have to go to zero emissions and zero dependence on oil. On top of this, we have the development of our own technology on batteries that say that today there are things that are possible that were not possible in the past.
So, the convergence between the macro environment on one side, and advances in battery technology…we’re going for it. We announced our strategy, planned the investments, and started with one car, going to two cars, then four cars, and it’s going to continue to develop.
