In Texas where we were put in a deep freeze last year.....the majority of electricity came from wind generation while the normal grid was totally frozen. I'm not taking sides I'm just stating what happened. I love fossil fuels but when it gets really cold it's not dependable.
I live in Minnesota. And cold is the #1 deterrent. They are improving every year. The next generation solid state battery technologies along with (in my opinion) hydrogen fuel cell technology will put them as very viable option.
It's going to be tough to argue against those points. Accept for the "Cool" factor. I'm sure they will develop some wild body and color designs. But the rumble of well tuned muscle is hard to compete against?
