Both have to happen - more or less at the same time."
Using the term "all electric economy" is not having all electric cars and does not eliminate use of Fossil Fuels. Electricity does not just exist simply by plugging in to the wall. Electricity is made by solar, water power, nuclear, wind, chemical reaction and guess what Fossil fuels. You need to increase the per centage produced by renewable power sources substantially to reduce fossil fuel needs. That has been a slow change and there is no breakthrough news saying that is near term .
I am all for EVs, but we shouldn't mistake that as elimination of our need for fossil fuels just because they are electric. It certainly would be a step to reduce pollutants.
