"Felicity Ace's fire was reportedly complicated by a number of electric cars onboard, with batteries that caught fire. It's still unclear what initially caused the blaze."

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) it's unclear . . . move along . . . nothing to see here I think electric motors have great potential as a means of propulsion, but batteries... batteries are nowhere near the level of technology that we need, and they won't be for sometime IMO. Cities will burn like the fabled fires of the late 19th and early 20th century if people don't start having honest conversations about electrical vehicles soon. |

Our current battery technology is fair, but needs more before it's ready for the mainstream. Same with solar, it's great we are moving in this direction, but we need more time. |
