All electric vehicles?
I guess electrically powered vehicles are coming but seems to me they are presently only a rich person's toy with present technology. By that I mean, they're only good for around town and short trips ...

Solar and wind power are now cheaper than fossil fuels. The only reason any of our electricity comes from fossil fuels is that they receive massive government subsidies. In a free market, all our power would come from renewables at this point.
Where? In winter months north of 50 only get 8 hrs or less of daylight with the sun low on the horizon. Not much energy there. BC where I live gets 98% of its electricity from hydro sources but they only supply 18% of the provinces total energy needs. 60% comes from fossil oil and natural gas and the rest from a variety of sources. You would have to cover half the province in solar panels and wind turbines to make that up.
