As oil supply tightens, we will seek for coal and natural gas, until that distant day when renewable sources can catch up.

There are number of social benefits of electric cars when compared to petroleum-fueled cars. First, economic growth will increase because the use of electrical energy derived from domestic power generation. Second, the reduction of air pollution will improve public health quality. Third, there is a reduction in noise levels. Fourth, the optimizing from the electricity infrastructure; and, fifth, the potential reducing renewable electricity integration costs.  However, there are also a number of potential costs arising from the use of this technology. First, the increasing of traffic congestio...
