PS. I like battery powered because, as we convert to all electric, we have the opportunity to recharge those batteries with wind, solar, and other renewable resources.
Yep, it probably will make you feel pure. And you won't need to dirty your hands with any nasty, smelly gasoline. Some feel good about being part of a progressive movement.

But what do you think the power plants that deliver your electricity run on? (Hint: your electrical power is probably not made with the alternatives you mentioned. But since you don't see how it is produced, the electrical power that is delivered to you looks clean and pure.)

It reminds me of the old joke about sausages: those who enjoy sausages and laws should never witness how either is made.
