It’s the simplest choice for low cost to the owner. First consideration always.
The electric is the higher cost. FAR higher. Needs total infrastructure built. What generating capacity will be needed to charge 100-million cars every night?
ICE doesn’t need any of this. It’s already built. And the pollution is nothing compared to fifty years ago. Thus a non-starter.
Electric is for those who want others to pay for their feel-goods. DIY, or it’s bull****. The pollution generated by every aspect of electric cars on a national isn’t trivial. It’s nasty as hell.
Will you be joining the military to adventure in Africa or Far Asia to TAKE what’s necessary? Yeah, didn’t think so. Your assumptions about national prosperity haven’t been examined, have they? Since this is where the entire argument falls apart.
Oil & coal we have. We are hardly through in discovering what it can do.
What’s the minimum one NEEDS to drive annually? The more the cities spread, the worse it gets.
A safe home in a safe neighborhood isn’t negotiable. The real problem.
