We won't have to pay for gas, the price of everything will go down, and all of the people like my brother who works in the oil industry can move into the new and exciting market of solar energy.
And the best part is we can change the our government works - no need to protect our oil interests in the middle east, so they can just to fuck each other now.
Win win.
Nah, where's the fun in that? Let's keep drilling for oil and not invest any money into the battery powered cars. So not worth it.

How about lets invest in an electric car that sells for $20k that regular people can afford, instead of a car that 2% of the population can afford.
That idea worked pretty good for Henry Ford.
As for the price of oil, read this...

Did you know about the 3.5 billion barrels of oil they found in North Dakota?
We need to work on that so we can say FUCK our middle east interests, develop an electric car that everyone can afford, because at 50k and up, it's not going to make a difference if the unemployment rate is still this high.
You're debating if we should or not, I'm just saying they are going about it the wrong way, not if they should do it.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
