Some Believe Electric Vehicle Hype Is Just Diversion

Like reading from a 9/11 conspiracy blog, I find this article about how electric vehicles are propaganda to keep Big Oil in business. While the first paragraph may make you feel like you are about to hear some sort of crackpot argument of triggered demolitions and disappearing airplanes, I can assure you that it is at least coherent and brings up some nice points and we aren't picking these guys up in point of care carts from the local nut house.

From auto news:

Our EV support (we invested in, developed and publish EV-MOTORING.COM) was based on a future replacement of gasoline with sustainable, clean and domestic electric vehicles recharged on the go by hydrogen fuel-cells. But something changed, the fuel cell left the equation and our government was corrupted into supporting the replacement of gasoline by plug-in's, to that end it offered billion dollar DOE grants to Big Power and connected "entrepreneurs" for smart-grids, recharging schemes and advanced battery research to the detriment of a real solution.
