Agreed
There is only a finite amount of useful Uranium in the ground, certainly not enough to compete with fossil fuels.

The point everyone seems to miss is that an electric car is using electricity generated mostly from non-sustainable means. We need to find a way of replacing an oil and gas based energy infrastructure within the next thirty years.

I'd happily stomach the 300% tax markup on the cost of a litre of petrol if the tax raised was spent on alternative energy research...

A bit of education for the masses
On Green/Sustainable living wouldn't go amiss. In fact perhaps introduce it into school as compulsory.

I mean I'd say almost everyone I've lived with at University has had a fundamental issue with electricity saving. For example, leaving all the lights on before leaving the flat for the day. Or leaving every device on standby rather than turning off.

Not that I'm perfect, but if this is the state of supposedly affluent and educated people, it makes you wonder.
