Default Re: OMG. Full Scale Electrics!

Actually electric cars now have a longer range then before. Also the oil companies bought the battery company that produced the batteries for the EV1 which gave it a much longer range.

In terms of fuel I think we are facing a similar situation to the 1850's. The whale industry was king in terms of fuel; whale oil. They never thought they could be replaced by alternatives. When alternatives arrived in the form of kerosene and other cleanly burning lighting oils their days were numbered.
