ummm… not really? you don’t rely on need to increase supply, you increase the demand by producing something people actually want to allow for the supply to be made… basic economics. You don’t just leverage an unproven and not cost worthy technology because it’s easier…lol. your argument sounds great in theory but is stupid to even say, the ability to create and leverage power without using coal is just not realistic. Gasoline is not the devil and oil supplies are not only abundent but are now being proposed as a renewable resource

Innovation is great and moving forward with a secondary power source is fine, but assuming that the existing infrastructure can sustain what is being proposed is stupid. So when a storm knocks out our entertainment, communications and electricity, it is going to also effect our transportation??? no thanks. making a car drive on an alternative power or secondary power is well and good, the whole process of creating these resources and making them fully availible is not something that is going to happen over night, or in our life time.

i swear i read that Gas stations weren’t around 50 years ago in this thread??? who is smoking what? 50 years ago it was 1959 plenty of gas stations.

really? you’re dismissing the viability of electric cars because of storm related power outages?

And fuck coal. Natural gas can run power plants cheaper and cleaner than coal ever could.
