QuoteI guess they think the power that charges their batteries comes out of a unicorn's ass.

I posted this before, but it's appropriate here in the overall sense (or lack of sense)

Even if the energy came from hydro electric, at various stages of the process, fossil fuels are used.

If every vehicle in the world became electric, there would not be enough base load to power them.  The energy has to come from somewhere.



Hydrogen cars are not an option, because of the volatility of liquid hydrogen, and the extreme danger and difficulty in transporting it to refuelling depots. The common fuel station would have to be completely re-designed to make liquid hydrogen re-fuelling safe.



The elimination of fossil fuels will not be the death of vehicles that use that fuel. It will be the death of individually private owned transport.

Nobody seriously believes fossil fuels and petrochemicals will ever completely die.
