So everyone that disagrees with you needs a shrink? I know who needs a shrink!

Vendy, it's you that has the issues. You are so blinded by any other ideas that do not sit perfectly with what you think you know. The basic issue is this : The world is a dirty place thanks to coal and big oil. Alternatives need to be discussed, found, explored and exploited. That's it, thats all. Stop shitting over other ideas just because you're an old fart too set in his ways. By your thinking, your computer would still be nothing but a terminal connected to a Univac.
It's a shame that you call people like Crockett a "Waste of time" when you are the one with the ass-backwards ideas.

crocket gave no ideas, only that I needed a shrink. And I think the world needs new ideas, but not ones that involve all the dangerous chemicals

But Vendy old pal.... don't you agree that it is better to have a car that does not spew out noxious gasses out of its ass just to get people from here to there? Don't you at least agree that a high tech car is better than a new car based on the century-old "technology" of a noisy, dirty, gasoline engine? This isn't the 1950's anymore...

I never said that, voices in your head?

But Vendy this is the entire point. Maybe battery technology isn't perfect, but R&D money and other loans are intended to help RESEARCH and DEVELOP new technologies to make things better.
As a consumer, the Chevy Volt is flawed because the range sucks (50 miles per charge). Tesla beat them silly with a 250 Mile range. Imagine a few years from now when a 500 Mile and 1000 mile battery range becomes reality. This can only be achieved by more research and development. The government's push and promotion on this is a great great idea.

So you are agreeing with me

Well first of course he would say that.
My problem with Hybrid cars is that they carry around a gas engine, transmission, gas tank, oil tank, oil pump, pistons etc etc and all the extra weight, placing unnecessary burden on the electric engine. Strip all that stuff out and you have a lighter car that can go further on a charge. The gas engine components in a way, make the reason for the electric side of the car moot, and vice-versa. The Prius is a pretty nice car, but seems flawed in my opinion.

Carbon footprint is bigger than a normal car because of the battery, that's what I don't like about them

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
