Funny, I had an original Sony Walkman. It used AA batteries. Reason magazine = epic FAIL once again.

Power plants burning fossil fuels. You know, fossil fuels, the things the envirowhackos think electric cars are replacing.

If I were in the fossil fuel business, I'd be cackling with glee. They want electric cars which need to be charged - cha-ching. They want to capture carbon emissions from coal, so they'll need to burn more coal to do it - cha-ching. They want to switch everybody to natural gas and increase its use - cha-ching. They want to block all nuclear power development - cha-ching.

Nuclear power went from zero to a huge fraction of global power production practically overnight - that must have driven the fossil-fuel guys totally nuts.

They never mention how charging an electric car all night
will effect your electric bill, or where you dispose of the
batteries when they no longer hold a charge, or the fact that you will hav eto buy new batteries when the old ones
wear out.

Time to buy asbestos stock again.

With all these mobile bombs out there, one needs an asbestos garage in which to park and charge them.
