I noticed you completely ignored all the external costs I discussed. The $80 billion figure comes from RAND, so it's sound. If you think oil didn't play a part in the Iraq war, you're pretty ignorant. Even the military leaders know that we fought that war for oil. They are some of the most ardent supporters of plug-in vehicles, both for civilian use, and their own use.

You seem to be straining to find fault with my comments. If the figure is only 77% instead of 80%, what's your point? My point is that EVs work for the majority of American's daily driving needs. That's pretty clear to the most casual observer.

You seem to harbor a hate for EVs. I really have no idea where that comes from. If you don't want one, then don't buy one. Why would you want to stop others from getting them? About 30,000 Americans have bought plug-in cars in the past two years. We all deserve the choice to drive on renewable electricity. The carmakers are finally giving us that choice.

You should be happy other people are choosing to drive without oil. For every EV that replaces a gas burner, your air gets cleaner, your nation safer, and your economy stronger. What's not to like?
