Those are great solutions, I agree, but those technologies aren't available to average guy like me. Where can I get a small plant to produce algae biodiesel or cellulose ethanole at my house? Because if I have to rely on gas company to produce those for me, then I will be waiting for decades.

Plus, electric was something I could do with my own hands, as a hobby, so I chose it.

I appreciate that you are not bashing, but I would not go as far as stating which solution is BETTER, all alternative solutions that don't use food crops or cut into food crops capable land are equally good, since they all reduce oil dependance.

No argument that EVs are shorthanded today and not for everyone, but they have their place and will be growing over time. EVs are great for short commute vehicles, which is majority of travel, and ICEs are great for long hauls, which is absolutely ciritical for economy, so both are just as important to address.

As for batteries, they are 100% recycled. Once the metal is out of the ground it can be used forever. Mining can be done in environmentally friendly way, if mining companies are regulated to do so.

As for my range of 50 miles, it was my choice of battery size based on my budget and my travel needs. Its not difficult to double the range if needed. Also, 50 miles is what I call a "no compromise" range, heavy acceleration, use of Air Conditioning, speeding, etc. If needed, with a few hypermiling technics I can get 60-70 miles from my battery.

Anyway, I am not pushing anything to anyone here, everyone is free to do what they want with their money. I was just hoping to find local people with EV interest and resources to promote it further.

Thanks for keeping this a friendly discussion, no need to act childish here.
