The Ultimate Driving Distraction: Electric Cars

So why is this the ultimate driving distraction? Because we have other solutions to the gasoline problem that could be employed, NOW. We have CNG (compressed natural gas); we have propane; and we have alcohol (ethanol). They are all produced here in America, they are abundant, they are less expensive, and they are far less polluting than gasoline. But none of these three options are being used, even though almost all of the same major carmakers are producing and selling vehicles capable of using these fuels in other countries. We’re being fed lies about the effectiveness of these fuels and the government is dragging their feet in removing regulations that would permit wide spread adoption. We are victims of alternative energy sleight-of-hand, the ultimate driving distraction.
 
I find it interesting that IEEE Spectrum listed both the Volt and switch grass ethanol as technology failures. This guy's idea that CGN, or Propane, or ethanol will solve the problem is totally ignorant of where they come from and what they are used for currently. Electric cars represent a very sustainable future, though it will take a bit longer to get there, it is where we want to be.
