Recall the decades it took to create vehicles that could be sold (fueled, serviced, places that didn't even have fucking roads) when we transitioned from horses to ICE.

It's a transition period, we're in the early days, of course there aren't enough technicians or knowledge about long term use and abuse on these new systems; it doesn't mean we should continue to embrace millions of tiny explosions to propel us down the road, emitting tons of CO2 and other pollutants.

You don't look at the problem and think: oh this is gonna take time and effort, best to just die in our own effluence instead.

All of your experience, all of the expertise passed down to you and taught was the end of a very, very long tail. You only see one future because of that.
