... this guy, Dr. Graham Conway, gives one of the more sensible and enlightened descriptions of our way forward with electrical cars and trucks. To me his talk here sounds like exactly what we should be doing and his graphs and charts seem to be dead on the spot. There are others in the scientific community who do not agree with him, of course, but to me, as one who has no training in any of the subject matter at hand, except as an auto mechanic in my younger days, his comments on the way forward make perfect sense. Below the video are some comments found on the video's page.
