I say let the free market decide if we need electric cars or not. Currently electric cars make up like 1% and obviously people really aren't that hip to the whole idea of them yet. They also aren't as good for the environment as they want us to believe. If this country stopped all greenhouse gases today for the next 20 years, it would only make a 5% difference worldwide because of everyone else's emissions.
Still takes fossil fuels to charge the cars, toxic plants making batteries, tires, metals, lithium mining etc etc. Cattle and all the other livestock are what is really making up a little over half of all the greenhouse gasses, so why is this never mentioned?
If you really want to fix the problem (which they don't) stop having a bunch of kids. Whats the problem with every problem we have - ta da - overpopulation.
Over fishing, air quality, CO2's, landfills, housing, starvation, pensions, health etc. Every single problem we have is tied to overpopulation yet nobody is talking about it.
Honestly, when I see a family with a bunch of kids it makes me sick now. All I see if a future burden for the rest of us. With outsourcing and robotics, what jobs do these dumb dumbs think they're kids are going to have? This is a country of consumerism now and a little production instead of the opposite in which it used to be. Think outside yourselves and just look back 20 years then look into the future 20 more; that's a blink of an eye in time but just try it.
