The bottom line is that it is not the cure all, and not as cut and dried as either side would like you to believe. We Still will need a huge investment in distribution as well as generation, and an alternative to coal is needed.
Maybe we can switch to natural gas power generation, what with all the hydrofraking that has been legalized it must be in abundance.
Hardly stellar considering the price tag for making a more simple vehicle.

My guess is that 20 years from now, we won't be doing fill-ups at gas stations and changing motor oil. I could be wrong but I hope not, for our sake.
