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 ...

Back to that post about an EV superior to the new Corolla. Lets compare costs. The Corolla around $20 to 22 K, maybe 17 or less for a nice used one in a couple of years. I paid 17 for my Focus last April. Any EV I know about; starting close to 30K and much more for some. The $8000 price difference would buy around 3000 gallons or 90000 miles in the Corolla. And I could jump in it and drive cross country with no worry about range. And I bet the exhaust is pretty darn clean.
Today's cars have pretty clean exhausts when it comes to toxic emissions but I think the point is burning 3000 gallons of gas puts 30 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere.
It's the dinosaurs revenge for man killing them and creating the ice age.
How do you turn 9 tons of gasoline into 30 tons of CO2?
