What are your thoughts on electric cars?

@Budwick i am not there yet

@Budwick Yes, it's still fairly new technology. But I imagine it will be like any other new product, as time goes by they will get cheaper and more efficient.
But what we do know is that the earth can not continue to provide an infinite amount of oil. At some point we need to be prepared for life without gasoline. It's best to start getting prepared for that time now.

@Paladin Welcome to SW.

Preparing to live without fossil fuels shouldn't BEGIN with simply removing fossil fuels.

@Budwick Thanks for the welcome.
And true about the fossil fuel. That's why we should be working on solutions now. The Evs in their current form may not be the final solution, but it is a step in the right direction.

@Paladin I won't disagree with that. Developing technology is terrific.

Just don't force it down out throats - that's all I'm saying. Killing the oil industry today when there's no viable alternative ready, to take it's place is lunacy. [I realize you didn't suggest that - I'm pointing out that it is the current policy.]
