I agree 100%. If someone wants to know the difference between an electric (which still requires a source to produce it) and oil, try using a cordless weedeater vs. a gas powered one on knee high weeds and wet grasses. You'll reach for the oil powered one every time. The idea that an expanding economy in India and China coupled with already developed countries swarming through energy at the clip of 31 billion barrels of oil a year can make the switch to electricity is outlandish at best. Only through the most chaotic transition will that ever occur. People can adjust to more, but not less without being forced. Humankind is still motivated by simple, 2 year old perceptions.
