Electric cars have been around longer than gas powered ones. You would think that if they were a good idea, they would have worked all the bugs out by now, and we would all be driving one.
It actually is a case for Charles Darwin, the best technology ends up beating an inferior one. It is only the socialist that keep pushing failed ideas and technology.

I have a picture of my Great uncle standing beside my Grandfather and his touring car taken in 1918. He had just driven it from Buffalo N.Y. to Hartford Ct. It was a steam powered Car, my father who rode in it told me the excelleration was tremendous and that it was quiet and comfortable. Makes me wonder why steam has not been used or developed further since that time. I never hear of anyone useing heat and water as an alternitive.
