What would that do to energy/electricy demand?
Would the current electrical grid structure hold up?
Can power companies even supply enough electricity to the public to replace gas?
How would they generate that electricity, and what would the extra demand mean for the environment?
I'm not against it, just some major unanswered questions.  |
The thing with electric is it doesn't take that much to generate electricity. It's our prehistoric approach that makes it look difficult. I've worked for years trying to get funding and representation for alternate energy researchers and inventors and I'll tell you up front it's the dirtiest, scummiest, most ruthless business you could imagine. Worst of all half of the inventors are either geniuses with no fucking clue how to market their stuff or they're scumbag marketers with a half assed invention. I dropped out of it totally after 2 guys died mysteriously and one just turned into a freakin' shivering coward after he got a 'visit' one night. Oh, and another is so goshdanged crazy he thinks angels are beating him up. Fucking totally psychotic business. I'll sit back and wait for the existing technologies that have been around for decades to come to light. That'll really piss you guys off that for decades there shouldn't have been an oil crisis.
What's worse is if you look at the cost of a gallon of gas and look at how much of that is taxes you'll see that the cost of gasoline isn't shit. It's the taxes that fuck you.
