I really like Electric cars, but they are not going to save us as they depend on oil just as much as any other product produced. there are 27 gallons of oil just in the tires alone, there there are the plastics and the energy required to mine the raw materials, transportations cost and thousands of other interconnected businesses and services that all depend on a system that is built on oil.
Typical argument that a $1 calculator can destroy.
Let's say that an electric vehicle and a standard gas vehicle require the same amount of oil to produce and maintain. They both hit the showroom floor and get sold the same day.
The first week passes and the gasoline vehicle hits the gas station. Electric vehicle just won that argument and its only been a week! Wait until 5-10 years pass.
