You would have to build a lot of power plants if we switched to electric cars. Be it Nuc, or coal.. Or the solar panels and batteries are going to have to get a lot more efficient... As it is the range on practical electric cars stink.. Now, the ones they race out in the desert that are one person, ridding on bicylce wheels, with the entire car covered in panels and weighing in at 800 pounds with driver, well those do pretty darn well.. I think we are a ways away from getting the range to haul my stock trailer somewhere and buying a bunch of bulls..

My point is that there is a future in it. Look at the development that has happened in Batteries in last 10 years. The car listed can go 250 miles before needing charged.

I guarantee if the Money was spent on Battery development, like the Batteries used in the Space Program it is attainable and probably in a short time. And if they developed the solar panel charger on the roof the charging would be on going.

The point is when the Government decides ethanol is the future then free enterprise gets pushed aside. When they pass laws saying that we have to have ethanol in all gas as they did in MO.

I do not think Battery Power will ever pull semi's or Stock trailers but that is a small portion of the Auto market and a small portion of oil usage. Eliminate the need for oil with the average commuter then there will be plenty of cheap oil for the Truckers and Farmers.

If you don't really have any clue about irrigation you should shut the hell up. You really are the poster boy of how ignorant the Republican party is on natural resources.

That went over your head didn't it. So sad that you were too slow to get what I said. But thanks for the insults, it proved that you don't have a clue.
