Couldn't read it. Blocking.

He didn't really give us an alternative did he. Hybrids are only a stop gap and even if we are generating most of our electricity with coal and natural gas we still reduce our carbon foot print compared to what little we are doing now. As for infrastructure, that's up to conservatives, as soon as the stop blocking legislation that would create it, the sooner we can get electric cars on the road...

Was that about the cars running on solar? I think they have the same cost prohibitive price tag. They may have the same problems (no heat, A/C, etc.).

If you l*****ts want more infrastructure, stop attaching radical green money to the legislation for infrastructure. Repugs are good with infrastructure, but not if we add in the l*****ts radicals spending.

For one, all coal fired plants can be converted to natural gas. Gas vehicles can be converted to natural gas, our cleanest fuel. Current electric storage capacity can be increased using current technology to increase range and keep costs down. Costly investments into knew technology needs to be curtailed. That is the message of the article. Solutions need to include the middle class and the poor, also a message of the article.

In the north, there is no need for oil to be the main fuel for heating homes either. They can be converted to cleaner natural gas.

Natural gas is the immediate future, especially since the US has plenty and we are the only ones even making an effort to be cleaner and greener but for the EU. All those other countries who signed the Paris accords are doing NOTHING. The biggest polluters are not even planning, as if they actually are, to do anything but continue to build coal fired power plants for the next ten years at a rate of one per week on average.

For us to sacrifice our economic advantage with no forward movement in sight on c*****e c****e, is fool hardy and dangerous for all of us.
