I love how people love to talk about how electric cars are "new" technology.
They have been around since the 1800s--if they are so great, why have they not taken over yet?
And when I say "electric" cars, lets be real. What we really mean are coal- or nuclear- powered cars. And what ya' gonna do with all those toxic batteries when they need to be thrown out?
Sorry, there are no free lunches when it comes to power. Everything has pros and cons...
Of course they aren't "new." They're just now at the point that they can work for a lot more people.
Even powered by coal, they're cleaner/more efficient than gas. It also moves the pollution out of populated areas.
And while the batteries can be thrown out that would be dumb. Recycling makes a lot more sense.
As for the OP, buy an EV to help push the transition.
