Almost all of the wealthy elites have a sports car, or a boat, or a private jet or all three. Why tell us plebes to stop using our cars, (that we need to make a living), when they won't give up their toys first?
Which leads me to something that I thought about the other day. Can you have an electric powered boat? Plugging in all those boats with all that water around. Seems kind of risky. What is the state of that technology?
