you missed my point. hunting is a hobby. some people do it for the sport. not to stay alive for food. but for pleasure. at the cost of animals lives. my opinion of cars is similar. it's a pleasure sport that harms other living beings, unless you are simply keeping the cars for show or as collector items.

at the moment, electric cars are not popular because the efficiency isnt great. why? not enough money behind research. not enough demand and higher costs. and, because the auto industry puts lobbyists in congress to keep their concern vital. but from an environmental standpoint, this is how the world needs to go because petrol cars are unsustainable.

it isnt down to what you guys prefer, its down to what the world needs. and im sure with enough research and design, some tech will be invented which out performs what we have now. the future is a sustainable car model, whether its electric, solar, or battery operated. unless you think wars over oil are worth fighting until all resources are depleted.
