Quote:Yeh, it runs on something called electricity. Ever heard of it?
At least two problems:
1. Electricity has to come from somewhere. for the last 40 years or thereabouts, the envirowhacks have fought every known way to generate meaningful quantities of electricity as hard as they've fought everything else America needs in the way of energy.
2. Even if every vehicle manufacturer on Earth were to cease making petroleum-powered vehicles this very day and henceforth produce nothing but electric vehicles, the existing fleet (for want of a better word) of vehicles still would extend three decades into the future before being more or less totally retired. For the next five years at least the vast bulk of all vehicles would still need gasoline or diesel fuel.
