This arguing back and forth is just silly.
It's a fairly new technology. Of course there are people who are for it and against it. Just like in the early days of ICE vehicles, household electricity, televisions, cell phones, home computers, etc.
Government mandates are to try to convince the auto companies to make strides in alternative fuel vehicles. It's working. Even just five years ago, there were very few options. Now there are that more choices and more coming every year.
There will be early adopters. The technology will see improvements, and maybe some new directions. Then the masses will start accepting it.
And then there are those few who won't embrace it until the very end because: 1) they can't handle change, 2) they cannot accept that there are other ways of doing things, and/or 3) they can't accept they were wrong,
There are plenty of sheeple in the world to be led down the garden path.
Plenty of us want to walk our own path. Forcing things on us is not the right direction.
