  1. The sad part is, I had actually wanted an electric car some 35 years ago. I had thought they'd already be at a viable state by now. I mean, I'd like to help clean up the environment too, but I've learned a full-on electrification isn't going to be the way to achieve that. It will take an innovative assortment of smaller-scale solutions rather than centralized management. But government mandates are the polar opposite of innovation, and being able to think of complex solutions is beyond any government. All they know is one-size-fits-all, when what we need is to fit our tech and systems to the specifics of any particular situation, and often it's localized rather than regional or national. And besides, if we come up with our OWN solutions, we won't be dependent on centralized authority, and we CAN'T be having that, can we?
