Evidently, you subscribe to the notion that somewhere there’s a free lunch. Face it. Today if we relied on horses for transportation we’d have a “horse $hit crisis!” Maybe you could “resurrect the vehicle” Al Capps had in the L’il Abner comic strips years ago. The thing had a gigantic horn on the front that gobbled up SMOG and produced clean air out of it’s tailpipe using the “energy” from the process for propulsion.
Quite the opposite. The envirowhackos pushing electric cars are the ones who believe in the free lunch. I, OTOH, just destroyed the “free lunch” beliefs of the envirowhackos.
