hibridization is not working, it still demand vast oil rescources, home heating oil prices still out of control, oil companies making huge profits while we supposedly have a shortage, outsourcing causing importation of more products from overseas while the shipping cost to bring the products here increases. We are building forign econonies at the cost of small business and the loss of jobs to the struggleing working class.

Look who's running the country...a bunch of oil freaks. Everytime the price of oil goes up they are cashing in! They don't want to come up with alternative fuel sources because there is no money in that for them.

How are you going to produce all this electricity? Is it your contention that the technology exists to produce engines that will cost less to operate than the internal combustion engine? If so please let me know who has the patent so I can invest in their company.
Last I checked we do not have a shortage of oil (when's the last time you went to buy a petroleum based product and couldn't because of a shortage?). However, we do have very tight supplies, realative to demand. You could probably put some of the blame on the boom in China and India for that.
Who is this struggling working class? We have the wealthiest middle class in the world. We have a very low unemployment rate. Who are you talking about?
Oil companies are making profits because they are selling something we need. Are you suggesting that the government put limits on what people can earn as profit?
Personally I would rather be rich.

Which governments produce vehicles? i understand of inner most agencies that make vehicles. i imagine what you're desiring is for the authorities to grant away loose electric powered vehicles. the important element holding electric powered vehicles off of the marketplace is that no human being needs to purchase them on the price it would take to cause them to. Take an economics classification and produce up this difficulty for talk with the instructor. you'll study a lot. definite, that's conceivable to make an electric powered automobile it quite is real looking yet with sacrifices. the vehicle marketplace needs a particular quantity of skill %, wearing means, and acceleration. To make an automobile such as what the regularly occurring public needs would fee way too a lot. Plus, the upkeep is better than what the regularly occurring public needs to save up with. also, as said in the previous, the electrical energy for the vehicle has to come back from someplace. image voltaic can not do the interest, because we do no longer have effective panels that are low-cost. different ecosystem pleasant possibilities merely can not reduce it. imagine, in California what it will be like if actually everyone drove an electric powered automobile. The state will be one widespread blackout because there isn't any longer sufficient electrical energy to address each thing. Now right here's an theory to get a automobile that would in wonderful condition the invoice. if in case you've some million different those who also choose a similar element. don't think the authorities to do the interest. have you ever huge-spread all people to accuse the authorities of being effective and getting the interest performed proper. some flesh presser will seem on the money for this project and choose them for his/her personal particular unnecessary project and attempt to get it or paperwork will bathroom it down. as well, the position will they get the money for it. the authorities will merely improve taxes on us to fund the electric powered automobile project. somewhat, type a company. Get the few million human beings to purchase into it and construct the vehicle your self. i understand that's a lot harder than it sounds, even though it quite is a thanks to get some thing like this.

Here's my two cents:
I do agree with what many people say. There will be loss of jobs from things like, oil rigs. Unfortunately, that is not usually the most powerful motivator. The biggest motivator in a lot of oil-based arguements is these companies fund many presidential and congressional campaigns. Without the money these companies provide, campaigns would fail, and many contenders could go largely un-noticed. Also, if someone forks over the cash for your campaign, you would do what they wanted, because you will always want their support.

its not just the electric cars. we could do a lot if the government would give people tax breaks if we install solar panel shingles. those can be used to get rid of the power plants, power the house, use the extra electricty to go into the power grid, charge our electric cars (tax breaks on those too), and it will help the economy by putting more money in peoples pockets to buy thing instead of paying for electricity.

WHERE YOU GOING TO GET THE ELECTRICITY ???
The enviromentalists do not like hydroelectric dams,coal burning,oil burning,nuclear power.
How many jobs are you willing to destroy to go to pure wind power and where are you going to put the windmills?

It conflicts with self-interest. We need to elect different leaders.
