Something so Simple as That Is a Knock on Our Little Electric Car?

   One of the biggest knocks left on electric vehicles would be easy to remove. 

  You can't leave town if you own an electric? You can't travel? You can't vacation? There simply aren't enough places where you can recharge? You spend more time locating recharging stations than you do finding places to eat? 

   Now. if you will allow me, let me joke for a moment: This is all a good thing, not a bad. The plus side to this supposed "problem" is that we are going to prevent a massive amount of pollution.  Eight percent of all CO2 released into the air comes from tourism, including that from jets and boats. (I'm not joking there -- serious.) Why would we want to solve this "problem"? It is not a problem; it's a blessing. Bring it on. Once all out-of-town travel is brought to a screech, we will have gone a long ways towards putting a skid on greenhouse emissions. 

   As I said, though, I joke. Of course we need need to allow people to travel.

   But, the solution to recharge stations is simple, simple, simple. After carrying on needlessly with joking for almost all of this blog, I can state it in one sentence what it would take to make it so there were plenty enough charging places. I'll leave you to argue, but there are no good arguments against this: 

  Require every gas station to have at least one electric vehicle charging station.
