Agree. The problem is when you go below the temp threshold and the resistance electric kicks in. (unless you have cheap juice - which Obama is working hard to eliminate)
I was discussing our energy policy with some pro-electric car people and our acrimony towards of any form of energy that might even have a chance at powering their electric car.
We basically have NO plan and only a bunch of feel good statements. And no, wind and solar are not going to power a million electric cars.
