Electric cars have always seemed like moving deck chairs on the Titanic. They depend on the same energy infrastructure, transit paradigms, and global supply chains as regular cars, they just don't directly burn fossil fuels.

The older I get the more skeptical of people saying what can't be done. It's always based on current technology without taking in the obvious changes in trends based on the future. Like the overpopulation crowd who were telling until they figured out richer countries with educated women make fewer babies then switch to saying we'd be underpopulated.
