Electric Cars for 2010: Shift from Foreign Oil to Riding on Local Renewable Energy

There is an economic shift with oil prices as the catalyst. In addition to the benefits of electric cars listed in the article, I would add:
Less CO2 and noise pollution, slow global warming
USA reduces trade imbalance
Reduce money going to unfriendly countries.
Electricity is easier to distribute than liquid fuels. Coal fired plants to produce electricity also pollute, but it is easier to control at one source than thousands.
If Eestor delivers, it would be the breakthrough to hasten this conversion.
