[Eccl 10:2]

The sustained high gas prices of the Obama years have doubtless encouraged advances and growth in alternative fuels. Tesla has proven that electric cars are viable, and not just some rich Birkenstock-wearing trust baby’s statement. Natural gas vehicles are gaining in prominence as well.

The oil mafia is getting the message.

Actually, what will happen next is cheap gas-to-liquid (GTL) conversion of natural gas to gasoline in a form that is very clean to burn. Thanks to new catalytic cracking systems, they can do it very soon at a cost way lower than making it from crude oil.

Imagine gasoline that could be sold at US$1.90/US gallon and still make a substantial profit.

Tesla has proven that electric cars are viable, ...

I don't believe this to be a true statement. Until, they can get charging time down they are not viable, merely, feasible. The idea of changeable battery packs would require service station acres of storage space and enormous amounts of current. God forbid the government gets involved in the design of replaceable batteries.

I know you think the very name “Tesla” is magic, but it is not.

Electric cars may eventually be viable for some drivers, but they’ll never be as clean as what most of us drive now.

Tesla has proven that electric cars are viable,

Sure they are, as long as government thugs give insane subsidies to thieves like Tesla, and gasoline is wildly overpriced.
