“Electric cars are the compact fluorescent lightbulb of transportation.”

Yep! :-)

I’m a nerd/engineer. I love the idea of EVs, but the power grid is NOWHERE NEAR READY for the numbers government idiots are talking about.

Moreover, if they were serious about a transition to EVs, they’d be promoting plug-in hybrids. Pollution from an automobile is worst in traffic. PHEVs would allow you to operate in electric-only mode in traffic jams and gasoline mode for everything else. Also, the batteries don’t have to be anywhere near as big as those in standard EVs (less environmental impact).

They have other plans though. They want everyone in EVs for some reason, and it doesn’t involve the nonsense “saving the planet” garbage.
