“The domestic oil boom has already reaped tremendous benefits, but integrating natural gas and electricity into America’s transportation system is a necessary way to diminish both our dangerous reliance on a single commodity and our economic exposure to the global oil market.”

This is a reality many Conservatives don’t want to hear.

Many hear hoping for the failure of Tesla.

An American car company building the very best electric cars in the world in the United States. As GM and Ford hold steady with auto capacity in the USA while expanding in Mexico.

Electric cars are a bad idea because current battery technolgy cannot deliver the engery density that gasoline does.

And companies like Tesla are all about packing and marketing cars based on current battery technology, when any credible electric car company needs to come up with a revolutionary energy storage technology which can compete with gasoline.

P.S. Used electric cars are basically unaffordable since the cost to replace a worn out battery pack is north of 5K.
