There will always be nay sayers and doom predictors. I for one have always been interested in different and interesting things. In the 1940s near my grandparents house in Rochester there were two old ladies who literally drove a Baker electric to church every Sunday. This sparked my interest and i have watched keenly the development of the new electrics. The technology has steam rolled ahead despite cultural resistance. last spring I was finally able to bite the bullet and got a Hyundai kona electric for under 30,000. Best car I have ever owned. I like to tell people it is smarter than I am.
A joy to drive. Before you dis them go out and test drive one. There were people who refused to try a computer when a good old typewriter was so much cheaper. Until they actually tried one and discovered spell check and all the other niceties that made writing so much easier. Who today uses a typewriter? Go out and test drive one.
