Yeah, I don't really get the fuss about electric vehicles. They might move us away from oil, but we mainly use fossil fuels to generate electricity... so this is merely an indirection.
- pshc 13y agoThe great thing about indirection is you can change what it points at. In the future we'll be running out of fossil fuels and generating electricity with same will be uneconomical compared to alternatives. It will be nice to have a mature EV industry at that point.
- theguycalledtom 13y agoIs this a serious thought out comment or a joke? Even coal powered electric plants are far more efficient than an ICE. So they are a cheaper source of fuel for the consumer and are putting out less C02. They are also far away from populated cities so the pollution isn't choking up the air in the city.
