Executives from Renault and Toyota have been speaking to officials from Israel and Jordan in an attempt to launch a joint venture for a factory specializing in environmentally-friendly electric cars. According to the plan, the location of this factory would be near the border between Israel and Jordan, in an area called Peace Valley....

....According to Agassi, Israel should attempt to be independent of oil within 10 years. An electric car industry would be an indispensable step towards achieving such a goal.

I wish all parties well in this venture. One would think Israelis would be more willing to buy electric cars for nationalistic reasons. The plant and the company would create (hopefully) decent jobs that would increase prosperity giving the local inhabitants a better life. It may even prevent some would-be terrorists from becomming terrorists.
