I really do wonder what the implications of cars moving to electric energy will have on the impact of transportation infrastructure.

For instance I don't believe electricity has the same "scarce-bility"/manipulation as fossil fuels do. The U.S. subsidizes oil so much because it is making the people who pay their campaigns rich. Solar and such are relatively easy compared to drilling your own oil, refining it and making it ready for your vehicle.

So when it gets to the point that it is more expensive for all cars to be gas powered, I think we will see that electricity companies won't hold the same monopoly values at manipulating markets. So instead of saying, I want to pay $X a year in electric to drive my car, I'd rather pay X/3

Anyways I'm off topic but we'll see
