It’s hard to imagine an industry more in need of disruption than the fossil fuel industry.
There is no question that the burning of fossil fuels creates toxic byproducts that cause serious illnesses and death.
There is compelling evidence that the burning of fossil fuels is contributing to what might turn out to be irreversible damage to the environmental stability of our planet.
Geopolitically, the economics of attaining fossil fuels has caused hundreds of billions of dollars to be transferred from Western countries to places bent on our destruction.
And individually, purchasing fossil fuels for automobiles is a major financial burden on many low income consumers.
It’s hard to draw up a more compelling case for the need for disruption.
Strangely, there is a very obvious technological solution to a substantial aspect of the problem — battery powered vehicles, or as we call them, electric cars.
