And eat bigger sandwiches......now with more "molecules."To do something just because everyone else is doing it is the oldest and worst argument to do something....the real question is should we? As well stated by Rscx4 and Yukon planning our transportation future on rare earth metals is only a setup for failure....."fossil fuels" will long be in abundance once the earth has be scoured for every ounce of lithium (or whatever unobtainium mineral the next battery is made out of) that can be found....but wait, those mines don't leave any green carbon capturing plants left - they wipe the earth bare! And, oh yes, we need more coal to power those "green" lithium battery powered vehicles......we humans are not rational but we do love to follow the pack.....Now, I'm going to be the first human to completely stop drinking water and drink only man made drinks with electrolytes(hopefully many will understand what that is referencing )
Anybody that likes idiocracy scores points in my book. Should be mandatory viewing for everyone as a part of their education. We are progressing faster than the movie predicted.....One of my favorite movies.
I have no problem with electric vehicles. Problem I have is that 60% of our electricity in the US comes from fossil fuels so electric cars don't do much to reduce pollution. Just a matter of where pollution is being released. They may reduce smog in cities........Agree with a lot of the above talk about cost of mining lithium, scarcity of rare earth metals, etc.
Our electric grid cannot support everyone driving EV's.
First thing I would do is get electric grid switched to renewables. Work on getting rid of natural gas and oil and switching to solar, nuclear, wind, hydro, geothermal, etc. Problem with that is the technology is not there yet and people are retards......In Hawaii they had morons complaining that the wind powered generators were killing bats....but they weren't sure why.....My guess is that the blades were hitting them, but who knows?
