The electric car takes 25 times as much energy as an electric kettle. If the electric car were to replace the gasoline car, the electric grid could not sustain the immense extra load to recharge them. A much bigger change is required, namely using much smaller, lighter vehicles, perhaps more along the lines of the Segway, the electric bicycle or a small single-passenger pod, computer-driven at densities impossible for human drivers.

Nixon ensured his election by aiding the candidacy of George McGovern, a candidate too far left for America. The Democrats could use a similar strategy by aiding the Tea Party candidates, even if just by giving them undeserved attention.
