What a pipe dream. I guess we will all love our 80 mile range cars. This is BS. With any luck we will take back our country and open up our oil lands for drilling, use natural gas, use coal, which we have plenty of, and build nukes to cover the landscape. Guys like you who buy into the electric car dream better wake up. When cap and trade goes into effect, if it does, you won’t be able to plug in a cigarette lighter let alone run a car.
I believe that if you go back and read the posts COMPLETELY neither one of us gave any indication of being in favor of electric cars.
Electric cars will not be practical for the population as a whole until the battery weight, capacity and disposal issues are overcome. In fairness, however, electric vehicles have advanced to the state where thousands of people use them for commuter vehicles every day, which I’m all for since it gives me a lot more room to park my full sized truck with a V-8 in those little tiny parking spots in the city.
