Using that battery is the tank analogy. The EV can be recharged/refilled via the sun, wind, even nuclear. However I don't think anyone is making more dinosaurs. Once the oil runs dry there is no replenishment.
Hence the term renewable energy!
If you guys can find a way to renew dinosaurs, I imagine the renewable energy guys will stop peddling EV's on us.
Unitil then you'll have to put up with the pipe dream of the EV.
Of course if you are sure the oil will never run out we can all sit around fat and happy sucking down as much fossil fuel as we like.
If you have doubts or are not sure we have multiple generations of fossil fuel available, you may want to consider some alternatives for the future.
Several problems here. The doesn't always shine and the wind doesn't always blow.Nuclear is just trading one form of pollution for another. Flip coin to decide which is worse. Oh yes we can store the sun and winds power in batteries. That is not even close to feasble at the scale it would take for the worlds present population, which shows no signs of slowing down it's increase. The demise of fossil fuel has been predicted several times, and it has always been wrong. Will it run out someday? Probably, but not for a VERY long time. The only real solution is to reduce the earths population I volunteer those that are the most concerned about it to be a team player and take one for the planets future.
Since thats not going to happen, the best bang for the buck is to bring the countries with little emission controls up to our standards. I lived in LA in the 60s, and it has improved dramactically. in spite of having a huge population increase. The sky there is not brown anymore. In any endevour, whether it is racing cars,building HI FI sound systems, etc. the first 95% of performance comes pretty easy and affordably. The higher one goes after that gets more and more expensive and harder. That is where we are in this country with emissions. The good news is that there are plenty of places that can be improved a LOT for not much effort and money. We have already paved the way for them by inventing the solutions. We just have to get them to follow our lead.
