How PHEVs and EVs Will Sabotage America's Drive for Energy Independence

I do agree with John - this perspective is something that must be considered, especially with the limited supplies of rare earth minerals for building newer batteries, and implications on oil consumption.

Another way to look at this question is how can we reduce/eliminate the 9.2 Million barrels of oil import per day, with gas demand approximately 9.1 Million barrels per day. Without maximizing our resources to cut the most use, we will have a hard time eliminating imported oil.
