    This..

    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?

    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!"

  • @the-cysko-kid said:

    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.

    The problem with electric vehicles is that neither the technology or the infrastructure is there to even take the first step toward them being standard. 

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

    Better not take any steps then

    @mld-woody said:

    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.

    @mld-woody said:

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

    Sigh. There you go again.
