This kind of shit really is amusing to me. You have some people that are like, "Electric cars are the way to go and if you don't you hate the Earth".

How much oil does it take to manufacture these electric cars?
How much oil will it take to produce millions of batteries for them?
How much oil will be burned trucking batteries to stations all over the country?
How much oil will be burned producing electricity to recharge all these millions of batteries?

All you're doing is buying a novelty to make yourself feel better. I don't see oil consumption being reduced by any amount that matters, simply by putting electric cars on the road. Like I've said before, you need a replacement for oil, period. That's when it will make a difference.
