[image http://cdn.oilprice.com/images/tinymce/2016/fjbe2ssss.jpg (Hitler rides in the empty seat) our parents and grandparents, who went to war against Hitler and Imperial Japan, would be astonished at us for thinking we could continue to drive to the mall on cheap gas and low tax rates while the fire in the Middle East was burning out of control ] In the aftermath of 9/11... the enemy has emerged, and its name is ISIS. So, if we decide, in fact, this is war, the time has come to ask the people at home to do something about it ... ... both Tesla and GM are launching EVs that can go 200 miles per charge with a sticker price at or below the average new car price in the U.S. of $35,000. This has become possible, at scale, because the price for a lithium ion battery, per kilowatt-hour, has now fallen to around $250, on its way to $100. At that price, a 60-kWh battery, which will take you 200 miles on a charge, only costs $6,000. That leaves plenty of room in the budget for things like tires, seats and a steering wheel. If you want to defeat ISIS, buy an electric car. For now, though, we should be nice to our neighbors, Canada and Mexico, because that is where most of the oil we do not produce at home is going to come from until we transition from domestic fracking to electricity for transport – an infinitely scalable source of domestic energy, provided by multiple sources. One more thing, it will never run out. PV4EV rules (or soon will).
