Electrical thinking

The energy of the future appears to be electricity. In the auto industry, an enormous consumer of power, companies are gravitating to electricity. Unlike hydrogen, the distribution system is already in place. Most residents have plugs on the side of their homes.

Auto companies have seen the future — with its spectre of peak oil — and realize that electricity will be their products’ future propulsion.
Car companies employ bright people to look into the distance and gauge future demand. These new models speak to an expected, abrupt increase in the price of gas.

Governments must be ready to supply the mammoth amounts of clean electricity necessary to fuel our changing driving habits.
