I’m not addicted to oil. And I said I’m a proponent of electric vehicles. But they are not ready for prime-time.
It’s simple physics. There is more energy per gallon of gasoline costwise than any other option for vehicles. Electricity for vehicles is not free. It needs to be generated by burning fuel. Combine that with inefficiencies of getting the electricity into a vehicle’s batteries and the cost is far greater than the equivalent cost of gasoline.
Reasons for the high cost of gasoline are due to taxation and political restrictions against extraction here in the U.S.A. If you did proper research instead of mouthing liberal lies, you would find that the government makes far greater profits due to taxes on gas than the oil producers make in taxes.
Hydrogen tech also has inefficiencies at this time, which I won’t get into (I have personally experimented with electrical generation from hydrogen, it is expensive).
Oh, one other thing. You may not realize it, but you are addicted to oil. Did you ever wonder where plastics come from? Many consumables like textiles, electronics, shoes, product packaging, asphalt, fertilizers, medical supplies, rocket-fuels, lubricants etc. are made from oil. Without the oil, no technology as we know it will continue.
I’m all for alternatives that can stand on their own without taxpayer subsidies.
If anything, the taxpayer subsidies are harming alternatives.
you honestly do not know what you are talking about. Elecrtic car are far more efficient when all costs are considered. The total taxation for one gallon of gas is about one third....which is a lot for sure. You just are really misinformed.
