“American motorists use over 140 Billion gallons of gasoline per year. If everyone switches to electric vehicles, how the hell are they going to increase generating capacity to replace the energy of 140 Billion gallons of gasoline per year?”

That is similar to what the horse-drawn buggy drivers said.

No roads to drive on!

No gas stations to refill at!

And now you are veering off into rainbow and unicorn fart fantasy land. Where do you think the electricity to replace 140 Billion gallons of gasoline per year will come from?

Generating electricity from anything other than fossil fuels or nuclear power is expensive, unreliable and far worse for the environment over the long run. Come up with a low cost, clean and inexhaustible alternative power source first then we can consider replacing millions of gasoline powered vehicles with electric.
