Whatever your opinion is on the whole hybrid/diesel/electric debate, Toyota seems to have the most cohesive plan and if public acceptance is any indication there's very little argument against their strategy.

Japan is one of the most advanced capitalists countries in the world with one of the highest standards of living. Can you compare your penis and your finger? Both are similar shape and part of your anatomy. Japanese are cruel to animals and where even more cruel to humans during WWII and prior of WWII during occupation of China and Korea. However, their environmental laws are stricter then US. They do love themselves and their own environment.

Last i heard there was crackdowns on sweat shops in such countrys. So then what your saying is toyota is paying more money to there assembly workers in there country, then the U.S is paying there union workers union wages? I highly doubt that. If they ever wanted to bring a plant to the U.S they would in fact loose money paying the union workers union wages. Compared to there wages they pay in Japan So then you disagree that people in countrys like Japan and China dont get under paid? Last i heard there was crackdowns on sweat shops in such countrys.

It is impossible to build battery plant in US with enviro regs. In Japan they can have waste pour direct into harbor. It kills seals, saves time without having to get caught clubbing them on film. Also shark float right to the top fins up ready to chop. Good, battery plants = pollution factories. It is impossible to build battery plant in US with enviro regs.

The cost of labor is usually secondary concern in high tech industry. We (US) are loosing our competitive advantage and descending in status of less industrialized countries, more as a supplier of raw material: ore, wood, agro products.

They cant get away with a sweat shop, and people working for two dollars a day with no benefits.They save a ton of money using slave labor, instead of taking care of there workers. Im sure Americans would be banging down the doors at toyota for an assembly job. hahaha The reason they havent had a US plant is because they actually have to pay people a decent wage here.

I'm curious why nobody has considered a plant in the USA, with the value of the dollar dropping it would be easier altogether to build these new batteries. Good news altogether.
