    I often wonder how much better battery technology would be today if batteries had become a more popular solution than gasoline back in the day.

    It’s weird to think that electric vehicles (albeit primitive ones) existed over a hundred years ago.

      Imagine if instead of rewarding Reagan for having the Iranians keep the hostages so he could rip the solar cells off the White House, we;d rewarded Carter for recognizing the trap oil was.
