I don't get the hate towards electric cars. The batteries are rapidly improving in power density, life span, toxicity, and energy density. If you could get a couple hundred miles of range, fast charge when necessary and get the price down (all of which are beginning to happen at a rapid pace) the electric car would be the way to go. Especially high performance cars. The power curve of an electric motor is for all intents and purposes flat from 0 rpm to it's max rpm of say 14000 or so. There is a little peaking, but nothing close to that an ICE does. Anyway anyone who understands cars understands what this means from a performance perspective.
Now I'm not a fan of government subsidies by any means, but something this important to our national security certainly qualifies it for help in my mind. Man made global warming is a joke, but expensive oil wrecking the economy and forcing us to fight wars in areas of the world that we have no business being is.
