Solar, wind electricity generators for every structure (homes, businesses, government facilities) would take most of the load off the "grid" and could possibly even eliminate a need for centralized generation facilities. Would virtually eliminate effective terrorist attacks on centralized generators and distribution systems. Of course those who control power would fight it.
As for personal transportation an advanced hybrid system, which uses a gas or diesel/electric system where the ev powers the vehicle, and the gas or diesel engine keeps the electricity storage topped up as it is used. Also, other types of engines are being developed as we discuss gas vs electric. Changes are coming faster all the time. Time for converting H2O in your tank into hydrogen to power your vehicle, and oxygen to add to the air around you. It already exists.
Electric vehicles have been around for decades, just like gas. Just needed better batteries. Debating ice vs ev is debating the better option of old technology. Time to look forward to a better, cheaper, safer, more practical technologies, many which are currently available, and others already in testing.
