Re: I think we must try
There's one other problem with a large scale move to electric cars....the grid. As it is now many municipalities endure rolling blackouts because our electric power comsumption exceeds the supply. Various statistical sources estimate the current automobile population in the U.S. at 140-150 million. Even with enough power supply we do not currently have the means to distribute enough power to a fraction of those cars to charge their batteries. In the short term we can move toward wind and solar sources to help power the grid we have now but the whole infrastructure is going to have to change to move transportation over to electric, once suitable batteries are available.
