    Yes he destroyed that strawman 

    Driving a few hours and then stopping for one or two hours it's not a straw man. Asking electronic music there's something called midi musical instrument digital interface. At the outset every company that made synthesizers had their own set of sounds. It was a klusterfuk. Eventually they made the 128 sounds Universal. So a number one a number 14 and a number 30 on everyone's set of sounds would be the same instrument not necessarily the same patch. For instance the grand piano the upright piano the electric piano would all be on the same similar number no matter what brand synthesize are you on. The grand might be a Yamaha or a Steinway or a Kimble but that number is always a grand piano. Hi think a possibility would have a standardized battery you're getting well you pull in they take your battery replace it with another one you're on your way. Like swapping out propane tanks at the hardware store.

    But even that would need to be at almost as many places as there are gas stations today. Imagine if every automobile could only run on one brand of gasoline.

    I believe you've confused what the strawman is in this case

        What, pray tell, was the strawman here? If you reread my first post which you seemed to take issue with you will see that I didn't say "fuck electric cars". In theory I like electric cars. In practice though we are not set up for immediate adoption, or even quick adoption. Also until they can get those mileage numbers up there's going to be a whole lot of people that won't work for. 

        Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

            You're right, it currently won't work for you so we better not bother with it

            Do you even live in America? We have vast rural tracts it's not one big city. Our public transportation is hot garbage. They'd need to put up millions of charging stations before a 10th of people could realistically depend on electric vehicles. No one's in here saying they should not work on the technology and infrastructure for the future but please, for the love of god, spare me the"it's time to give up on fossil fuels" nonsense.

            They are supposedly working on a concept of charging lanes as you drive on our interstates but given the present condition of our state and interstate infrastructures who sees this happening in our lifetimes?

              And I think you've confused one of the biggest reasons that electric vehicles aren't anywhere near viable at this point. Maybe that's intentional.

                The strawman is someone here saying "it's time to give up on fossil fuels"

                Yes, going cold turkey is a bad idea. You win that argument, but no one is making that point. 

                Maybe I took your first post too strongly, but it sounded pretty anti EV. Ultimately, it is the direction we should go and need to go. I believe we shouldn't leave that transition up to the "free" market either. We may just disagree in how strongly we should push towards that future.

                  Yep. Too bad we have to spend as much on defense spending as the next 9 countries combined. And too bad we can't tax the extremely wealthy any more or our entire economy would collapse. Otherwise we could maybe progress with some of these ideas

                              Speaking of a strawman how about this?

                              "We don't to have the technology or Infrastructure in place for electric cars to be standard"

                              "Well I guess we'll just give up forever then!"

                              Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

                                What, pray tell, was the strawman here? If you reread my first post which you seemed to take issue with you will see that I didn't say "fuck electric cars". In theory I like electric cars. In practice though we are not set up for immediate adoption, or even quick adoption. Also until they can get those mileage numbers up there's going to be a whole lot of people that won't work for. 

                                The strawman is someone here saying "it's time to give up on fossil fuels"

                                Yes, going cold turkey is a bad idea. You win that argument, but no one is making that point. 

                                Maybe I took your first post too strongly, but it sounded pretty anti EV. Ultimately, it is the direction we should go and need to go. I believe we shouldn't leave that transition up to the "free" market either. We may just disagree in how strongly we should push towards that future.

                                  Exactly. I have no doubt that it will eventually. But just not now.

                                      You said "even take the first step towards them being standard"

                                        Is that what he implied? This is how you get yourself into trouble.

                                        What I got out of his statement was that more steps need to be taken before making the electric car the standard. But you chose the snarky route.
