After reading this article, and especially the comments here, I kept waiting to see a “Willie Green Happy Choo-Choo Thread” graphic pop up.
Electric cars may (note “may”) be workable at some point in the future. But right now they are just not usable in most of the country for most of the year.
In the Indiana part of this “warming world” we live in, I’m already running the car’s heater. In an electric that would cut my mileage to the point where I couldn’t make it to and from work on one charge.
As to California producing so much power, I understand that they still buy LOTS of electricity from other states, much of which is produced by burning coal. (Summer rolling brown outs anyone?)
Bound to happen.
Welcome to Obama’s 3rd world.
