IMO, electric is just a trade off. So we use less fuel, but imagine how much nuke power (more nuclear waste) we would need if even 50% of the current autos on the road were electric powered?

Solar and wind and geothermal would need to be full swing. We need to get away from fossil fuels, yes, but we also need to realize what the trade off is. Until we can produce on a large enough scale, TRUE, clean, renewable energy, I think gas will be here for a while.
