Look, I'm not necessarily saying it's a better idea, at the moment, but what I AM saying is that it shouldn't be dismissed so easily.

If we dismissed every idea that came about because of it's potential downfalls, cars wouldn't exist to begin with... Hell, we'd still be pre-fire... making fire is dangerous... It burn Trogg.. Trogg MAD! LOL.

Fact is, while right now, it's not the best methodology or application, it will evolve.

Dismissing an idea for garbage without actually trying it out in the real world, citing a jumble of numbers and every excuse they can think of why it won't work, is not progress...

I personally believe it could be a very good method of implementation, regardless of current limitations. I also believe that if you had the choice between a 600HP Mini that got a minimum of 80MPG, and could potentially use no gasoline or combustible fuel directly, You'd take it, over the other option of a forklift powered EV that can't even get on the highway safely (in most instances.)
