Bill Clinton got electric cars right

Laws of supply and demand do only one thing. They dictate the price of the product. I've been around cars and trucks long enough to have witnessed the full gambit from price wars for abundant gasoline to shortages caused by OPEC greed. Believe me , Oil companies love supplying their product to inefficient cars. As long as there is oil and cars that use it, they'll be happy to keep pumping it out of the ground. Compared to the current choices for alternatives, gasoline still gives you the biggest bang for the buck.

Have you noticed the price disparity between diesel and gasoline? Diesel costs more than gas for no good reason. It takes fewer steps to crack oil into diesel than it does gasoline. A fact that used to make diesel cheaper per gallon.
Why do you suppose it flip fopped?
Because diesel fuel moves our freight? Because fuel oil runs our boilers? Some oil executive decided to make it so? All of the above?

I would love to see electric cars become a viable transportation choice but, it's going to take time and a great deal of ingenuity.
