People that didn't have Model Ts, complained about them, too.
About no one rides a horse anymore, although I did see one downtown, harnessed to a buggy, tonite.
Gasoline is far more polluting than coal power plants. The ICE is extremely inefficient- The heat that comes off the radiator and out the exhaust is wasted energy. Electric motors have neither exhaust nor a radiator.
How polluting it is or isn't isn't the highest thing on my list. Nor is how efficient it is.
It's too easy to plug a car in, and have a full charge every, single time. At work, or the mall, or ...
Americans have no memory- They forget the lines in the early 70s when the Arabs decided to shut down supply.
Then the problems in the late 70s. Then the $4 a gallon gas.
But, overall, as Train mentions, I'm really just a cheap screw, I'd love to stuck some panels up and never have to pay for a fillup again.
