One can still see the applications for pure electric vehicles, and yet be against them being forced on us and told they are a replacement for a gas vehicle. They currently aren’t and perhaps will never be. There could easily be a technology that leapfrogs both gas and electric, we don’t know, and to revamp our infrastructure for a technology that may have a short useful life seems foolish to many people because it is. We are a free market, and In fact stopped monopolies from forming using the law. Now the government wants to be the monopoly. The slippery slope you heard about? We’re on it.
