The target is large. The target is close. The target is not moving. The ammo is free.

Wow.
Q: Why'd the chicken cross the road?
A: It was fried-day.
I'd guess the writer is the one person who never stuck a 9-volt battery on their tongue when they were little...or never heard of rain.

Yeah..the target is large and it is us.
We send tens of billions a month to OPEC and lots of that comes back and kills our treasure through weapons, madrassas, mosques, etc.
We have a choice: Either become energy independent by drilling more OR electrify the nation - electric cars—sounds real good.

Everyone knows that when you turn on a switch, electricity just happens. What could the downside be? (And it could even be used to melt the snow in the winter!)

I thought it was satire at first, but no, this loon believes.

It ain’t just the 40 mile a day commute, it’s the occasional 300 mile trip to another city to visit the relatives or do some business.
Recharge time is a _key_ parameter.

They always make it sound like the Elektricity somehow
comes out of the thin air absolutely free.
Forty mile daily commute?
Where some kind of gated community?
Might as well have a golf cart or bicycle.
Socialistenviros, a plague on them.

I’m with you. I read that first sentence and thought, this has got to be on FR.
Keep shooting y’all.

I would buy one if they got over 100 miles a charge and if the charging for a week was less then the 50 buck I spend each week now for driving over 50 miles a day to work and shoping.

That's because cars plugged in overnight employ unused capacity in the current electric system. Which means that you won't really have to burn coal to produce the electricity to power the car. (Do I really need the sarc tag?)

There’s no logical reason to use anything other than petroleum products for transportation of goods and people. Nothing else is as efficient, plentiful, and cheap. The oil is there, and we have more than we could possibly ever use.
We should use it....anything else is just fanciful nonsense.

“While California has moved its mix of electricity sources toward clean, renewable energy.....”
