Now Dave, Just because of that lopsided 5-4 victory last December, I don't see why you see an oilman in every high public office. Really, it's only about 75% of 'em. I think that the wisdom of our age is that electric vehicles are moribund. They don't work in cold climates and as others have pointed out, they are potentially a huge burden on the grid. Battery technology has simply not matured to the point of practicality for vehicular traffic. Not for lack of investment, research and development, IMHO, but for lack of physical laws co-operating with our wishes. The new hybrid vehicles, OTOH, seem to me to be an exceptionally elegant* engineering solution. Just hellishly complicated and user-unfriendly. [[*At least as far as the laws of thermodynamics are concerned, not in an Occam's Razor sort of sense. ]] Best, Ray :)
