That may be true in the cities, but in rural areas, it's an exceedingly ignorant notion.Electric cars don't solve any real envirnmental problems EXCEPT local pollution.
Every time one creates energy (from any source) and then store it to be used later, you are losing energy that will never be recaptured.
I know that many of leftie bretheren congratulate themselves for driving hybrids, but I think their high opinions about how lighty they're treading their carbon footprints on the world are little more than a conceit.
I don't even care if we find a free carbon neutral source of energy, the idea that we're going to become a world with 7 or 8 billion private transportation vehicles (and the infrastructure for them to get about on) is a silly and shortsighted notion.
Eventually, and I mean in this century, mankind is collectively going to come to the conclusion that private automobiles to serve our tranportation needs is a terrible waste of resources.
Mankind will no doubt come to this conclusion kicking and screaming and fighting it all the way, but they will inevitably realize that the automotive age is over.
yeah
How the hell are you going to have mass transit in farm country?
What does that matter? Food comes from the supermarket!
