It's fucked but I think thats quite an easy one to turn around though.. In a society as individualistic, enterprising and anti-getting scewed as the US, It wouldn't take much for an electric car and solar panels to been seen as fucking the oil companies, fighting the terrorists and being your own electricity company in one shebang.. seriously.. It would take a couple of months of propaganda in that direction and It would be unpatriotic not to have solar cells and give your money to the dirty arabs.
And frankly.. with the cost of electric cars and solar panels, no tree hugging hippy freak could get half way close to thinking of owning them.
