Mindmeld, > But electric vehicles that can get 200-300 miles per charge are the easy way.

If they actually got that much range, then electric vehicles would be more popular. Right now, they only get 100 miles.

Besides, electric vehicles only succeed in "moving the smokestack." You still have to generate the electricity in the first place. Then you have to transmit the electricity. Both steps introduce inefficiencies, which when combined together comes close to the inefficiencies of the internal combustion engine.
