How about no. Electric is marketing. You can choose to believe the marketing (it pushed a lot of "shots") or pay attention to the engineering and what really happens. It doesn't make economic sense since it is a poor replacement for what we have. Battery technology has been worked on forever and it is what it is.

The CO2 nonsense is completely nuts. Sorry there just isn't enough of it in the atmosphere, even with our addition, to change much but smart sounding people go on how 0.04% of the atmosphere is a catastrophe. For reference, CO2 is added to green houses for the plants to grow more, not to heat it (that's the sun's energy and water vapor).

The engineer in me can't believe what's going on. When this first came out, the marketing said "the train has left the station" followed by 97% of scientists have consensus (the same guys in the crest commercials I assume). None of it is true. It is a money maker (taker?) and as such will be found out for what it is.

I'm no apologist for oil derived fuels, but a replacement must have a similar energy density and probably be cheaper. I'm glad there are new idea's being tested, but until they can live up to the claims, they are just ideas. On the other hand we've covered the landscape with windmills and solar panels that don't produce power consistently. Frankly small scale solar is fine if you don't pay too much for it, but folks relying on large fields of panels will have issues after a hail storm or multiple days covered by ice and snow.

So, this is all political nonsense. At some point the voter says no.
