      Scratch that, get people to demand and vote for public transit and cycling infrastructure. It’s much cheaper per person than building&recycling batteries for all the EVs, and beefing up the power grid to support the exploding demand. Much better for the environment and society in general too.

        Ah but we’ll never run out of electricity. We will run out of oil.

        Furthermore, adding new electric capacity is easy in comparison to adding more oil infrastructure.
