60. When it takes ~ the same energy to produce a gallon of gasoline...

as it takes to propel an electric car the same distance (as a gallon of gasoline), there is no threat of overloading the existing grid.

If we had the choice, the Oil Companies would very quickly run out of excuses for $135/barrel oil as well as the insane profit taking.

But remember, just because at least one oil company has suppressed battery technology and the electric car programs (paid for, in large part, by the taxpayer) were canceled the second Big Oil, the car companies and the malAdministration had their way with CA's zero emissions laws, doesn't mean there's a conspiracy.
