< It will be shortly after the day when electric cars become affordable and practical for the unwashed masses. The Agenda 21 journalists talk about electric now because working people can’t afford them. Once they can, then it will be time to lay on a new guilt trip. >
Ironically, at the turn of the 20th century cars, gas as well as electric were seen as an increasingly viable solution to the serious environmental and health problems, especially in larger towns and cities of horse droppings, as well as older or unhealthy horses dropping dead in the streets.

Not really that ironic. At the turn of the 20th century, the ICE was very weak and trains were seen as the practical way to travel distances. Electric or ICE didn’t really matter when your typical trip was less than 5 miles at speeds not much faster than a horse-drawn wagon.
