Amazing. Absolutely amazing. These clowns actually do think they can dictate to Mother Nature. These things cost too much and perform abysmally, but somehow people are going to be convinced to buy them anyway?
How do yo do that? Make it illegal to offer anything else? Give them away with subsidies that are paid for by everyone else?

Time to find another state to live in. Who wants a good Republican?

See how far an electric car will get you when it's -20F. The energy in a gallon of gas in astonishing. Try pushing your car 1 foot then ponder the fact that one gallon of gas will push that car full of people 25 miles at 70 mph.

Never say never in science but coming anywhere close to that energy density with a battery using any technology known today is mind boggling difficult.
