the granola people in CA had already mandated drastic increases in the required implementation of electric vehicles there - when they discovered that they didn't have the electric infrastructure to even produce the existing demand requirements.

I'm talking hybrids here, capacitors can be far greater than any normal (read lithium)battery for storing electricity. Because there is no need of any chemical reaction, they are cheaper since no rare metals, and can possibly last nearly forever if there is no major spikes in electricity and are built well. I believe lithium hybrids can't replace the car just yet since there is no major bonus, but if all of a sudden new technology halves running costs and didn't cost the earth, then yes, delete the old technology out of production.
Who uses 5 and a 1/4 disks still. Or even for that matter 3 and 1/2's. I bet every one has already gone to at least 1 gig or greater usb pens. Old tech, no benefits, get rid of it!!
