Electric cars a bad idea?

I think the benifits are supposed to be for the environment arent they?

Exactly.

Throw the money involved into the mix though, and it's endless smoke and mirrors. Play the endless scenarios of "how much will it cost me" and/or "how much money can possibly be made" to their conclusions though and a person is still left with one reality...what good will the money that's been saved or made do if the only option is to spend it in a place that's no longer habitable?

Of course, that hinges on whether a person believes that current man-made technologies are worsening the environment, but we won't go there.

Now maybe the current technologies still aren't to the point of making electric cars viable as all-purpose vehicles, but at least attempts are being made to come up with alternatives. And in my opinion, that is where the focus should be maintained, as opposed to only pointing out perceived problems or failings.

If you do not point out the perceived problems and weaknesses you cant solve the problem and make it better. Like nuclear if you concentrate on the low pollution and almost unlimited power potential but ignore the problem of disposing of the waste you create a biggeer problem than you started with, You cant think 1 dimensional and solve a problem

Well here's your problem. You neglected part of what I said to suit yourself.

What I said was "if you ONLY point out perceived problems or failings", because only doing that, you're not going to solve any problems either.
