Will China Overtake The U.S. In Electric-Car Sales This Year?

WochitBusiness

Modern plug-in electric cars have been on sale in the U.S. since December 2010, and in China even longer. But sales lagged in China until last year, handicapped by several factors: fewer single-family homes that facilitate charging in the driver's own garage, a fierce focus on the lowest possible price by bargain-hungry buyers, and a minimal environmental movement. But now, writing in Fortune, author Levi Tillemann asks whether the largest auto market in the world--China sold 23 million vehicles last year, against 16.5 million in the U.S.--will overtake the U.S. in sales of plug-in vehicles. His answer is: very possibly. China appears to have sold 27,000 electric cars last December, roughly twice the U.S. figure.

http://democracynow.org - This weekend, people around the country marked the 50th anniversary of the assassination of El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, known as Malcolm X — one of the most influential political figures of the 20th century. In New York City, family members and former colleagues led a memorial ceremony in the former Audubon Ballroom where Malcolm X was gunned down on February 21, 1965. The Audubon Ballroom is now the Malcolm X and Betty Shabazz Memorial and Education Center. We hear some of the event's speakers, including Malcolm X's daughter Ilyasah Shabazz. We broadcast an excerpt of our 2006 interview with the late civil rights activist Yuri Kochiyama, who witnessed the assassination and held Malcolm X as he lay dying. We also air the Pacifica Archives recording of the 1965 eulogy delivered by the actor and activist Ossie Davis.

"Mayor 1%" Rahm Emanuel of Chicago Faces Progressive Challenge in Heated Bid for Re-election

http://democracynow.org - The battle between Rahm Emanuel — a Democrat known as "Mayor 1 Percent" — and a host of challengers has reached a fever pitch in Chicago. Emanuel is struggling to keep his seat when voters head to the polls on Tuesday. Opponents say he has failed to improve the city's schools and address gun violence. Emanuel's re-election campaign has the endorsement of his former boss, President Obama, and a war chest of more than $15 million -- about four times the amount raised by his four opponents. Most of his funds come from about 100 donors. Emanuel's closest rival is Jesús "Chuy" García, a county commissioner who has support from the Chicago Teachers Union and other labor and progressive groups. We speak with Rick Perlstein, a Chicago-based reporter and author of several books, including "The Invisible Bridge: The Fall of Nixon and the Rise of Reagan" and the bestseller, "Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of America."

Net Neutrality, Title II Proponents "Assume Nothing Has Changed" Since 1995: Daniel Berninger

Net Neutrality, Title II Proponents "Assume Nothing Has Changed" Si...

"All the logic that we are seeing in the Net Neutrality debate is assuming that nothing has changed; it's assuming that it's 1995. What's actually happened is that people get more and more service, year in and year out," says Daniel Berninger, a telecom activist who was involved in the early days of internet-phone service of Vonage.

Net Neutrality proponents, including President Obama, argue that internet-service providers (ISPs) need to be regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in order to keep the internet "free and open."

Berninger heads up VCXC, a nonprofit that is pushing for regulatory and policy changes to speed up the transition to IP-based networks for voice and data sharing. He's an unsparing critic of FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler's plan to implement Net Neutrality by regulating broadband network operators under Title II or "common carrier" provisions of federal law.
