Does Fossil Fuel have the Edge over Electric Vehicles?

Solar’s threat to petroleum is no longer theoretical, its’ real and it is happening now. That threat will be disruptive and it is likely to be unpredictable. It is also catching much of the energy and technology industry’s leadership by surprise. Nobody, a few years ago would have predicted that a fast and massive transition to electric vehicles would be underway, but it is.

Nor would anybody have predicted government leaders in several nations to be talking about completely scrapping internal-combustion engines within two decades but they are. Plans to get rid of diesel and petrol-burning vehicles have been announced in such disparate places as India, Mexico City, Greece, Norway, China, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and California.
