Is the new thing electric cars? How would the increased draw on our energy grid be good for the environment? Right now in California, we are constantly having brown outs and commercials urging us to curb our energy usage at peak hours of the day. How are we supposed to "fill up" our vehicles from this same source without causing some sort of catastrophe?
Every time they talk about electric cars, they NEVER discuss the drain it will put on our electrical usage. Since enviro-nazis won't let us use nuclear power, it must come from coal or oil. So what we don't use in our cars we will now use to generate electricity??? It's like carbon credits. One person who doesn't pollute sells his credits to someone who does to make them "feel better". And so we shift our oil usage from our cars to an electric facility... net result 1 minus 1 = 0. How does it help the environment?
Once they start talking about solar powered cars, then we will have something of substance.
