Whatever. There is more than one reason to get off of oil. Electric cars are only one way to go. I would prefer we have choices. Electric, biofuel, compressed air, hybrids...

I would also prefer no more coal plants be built, and people who own those plants have to pay big taxes. There is no such thing a "clean" coal.

I really think that we will have to go nuclear soon. The safety standards have been raised and it is cleaner and more practical than any other option. Although, a lot of research is going into other clean alternative energy sources (wind, solar) and in a few decades, those will start to become more viable options as well.

There is no viable replacement for fossil fuels (petroleum). The electric car is the hybrid. Hydrogen was never a viable fuel - could not even work in theory. Compressed air - do the thermodynamics. Also not viable. Biofuels - myths. Yes, there are exceptions just like some farmers still use the old wind mill for backup electricity. But face reality. We have no viable alternative to current petroleum transportation systems for the next 30 years. And then, only in limited applications.

Time to start getting smart about it. The only solution is doing more with less. Smart as in letting scientists – not White House lawyers – write the science papers.

Tw, if you were fully competent, you'd copyedit -- it might help with your memory problems. But oh, no, that might make you less the wacko extremist we all know you are. (You make adhominem attacks on you mandatory, you know. Or you don't know, and demonstrate that exquisite incompetence yet again.)

You continue your bad behavior here:

Your emotional development came to a halt at about age four, five tops. It is grotesque. Vulcan, schmulcan; your personality prevents adult thinking ever being manifest, owing to the stupid emotional needs of your ruling lizard brain. Look at how well the anti-Limbaugh Left is served: it has you! Mister Thoughtless.

Now in the hope that you might demonstrate some rare flash of competence, let's hear this "quantum physics" idea explained more fully, and how it might have anything to do with powering transportation.

Or are we to suppose you believed every word of The Republican War On Science?
