COULOMB TECHNOLOGIES HAS ANNOUNCED that it will set up nearly 5,000 electric vehicle charging stations in nine U.S. metropolitan areas: Austin, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York, Orlando, Sacramento, San Jose/San Francisco, Redmond, Wash., and Washington, D.C. The $37 million project [will draw] on $15 million courtesy of the stimulus bill.

I could live with the $15 million cost if it would confine progressives to those nine metro areas.
