“Yep. I’ve never understood why some of the worst ideas, (Marxism, for example, and electric cars,) are the most persistent.”
Maybe because the big oil companies have bought up the patents and then stored them in a dark warehouse in the desert.
Guess that doesn’t work too well for Marxism.
So maybe they’re both just bad ideas.
As for the persistence of the idea of an electric car,I think it’s to satisfy environmentalist wackos’ concern for the pollution (ignoring the fact that electricity largely comes form coal-fed power plants) and the auto manufacturers’ attempt to get out from under ever-more-onerous fuel-economy regulations applied to gasoline-powered vehicles.
