This blogger asks questions about electric cars that the industry refuses to ask in public, and goes on to state:
...capitalists never publicly admit the existence and complexity of all four of these questions.

Making big money almost always requires ignoring one or more of these questions, and the capitalist system as a whole is as heedless of ecological limits as just about any dystopian fantasy one could concoct.
