Froma Harrop - Electrify the Roads

Columnist Froma Harrop dreams of a day when most cars in America will be battery powered. We do too. However, despite the fact that batteries require electricity to be re-charged, Harrop's nice dream does not seem to address how America might accommodate the surge in power demand that would come with the fulfillment of this dream. Despite the fact that green countries like France derive nearly 80% of their electrical power from nuclear plants, there is no mention of this efficient power source (nor any other). This important little detail causes us to wonder exactly how all these batteries will get charged. It is a very nice dream.  Read it here:
