I rather see us mining the world's largest supply of natural gas that lies beneath our country. Natural gas burns cleaner and more efficiently than gasoline. Current cars can be converted to run on natural gas and the infrastructure is in place to pipe natural gas into existing service stations. We could even have people that have natural gas in their homes install a pump to fill their own cars and have it on their gas bill.
No, it would totally eliminate fumes but it would reduce them by a significant amount. Creating electricity also creates fumes.
A goal of having 100% electric cars by 2035, or at any time in the future is unreasonable. Hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of people are driving old cars and have no plans to buy a new car. Many of those cannot afford to buy a new car and will never be able to afford a new car. This will hurt the poorest people the most.
And then what happens to all of the gasoline/diesel vehicles that are currently on the road? Can you image the pile of junk created across the country?
Why hasn't anyone that is proposing all electric cars discussed these problems?
