I did? I said we are doing it wrong, why should the taxpayers fund a car they will never be able to afford? Battery power is low tech, you do realize that submarines during WWII were battery powered right?
I am bitching about not drilling enough, we have more oil than any other place on earth, yet we send our money to other countries, why?
Dependency of foreign oil was 10% in 1970, it was 65% in 2004 and is starting to drop, not because of policy, because of recession. it's around 50% now. Jimmy Carter started the DOE to help keep that number down, didn't work very well

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
