I think the world could use more engineers. Nothing like taking some stupid politicans / idealists pie in the sky ideas and shooting more holes in them than a bagdad suburb.
They really should talk to an engineer on some of their ideas. Who ever advised someone that electric cars are great was smoking something. Basic calculations show they burn more fuel than an internal combustion car. Too many loses between the plant and the motor. Too many inefficiencies. That and can't get heat out of them without wiping out your battery. Texas maybe, northeast ...nope, next idea.
CO2 emissions, they talk about making things more efficient. Hasn't worked in the past why would it work now. More efficiency usually means people will drive further, not use less gas. To make less CO2, you have to burn less gas.
