    Sometimes a TEDtalk goes off the rails:

    • Ignores global warming effects
    • Anecdotal, not quantified, claims (aka., Senator toss a snowball.)
    • Cherry picks
    • Ignores the cost per mile to the owner of an EV versus what he advocates

    This is where that guy is an engineer at: Southwest Research Institute - Wikipedia
    Shocker that they were founded by an oil man deep in oil country and that several of their core competencies revolve around oil and internal combustion engines.

    TED is going downhill if they are letting such propaganda shills speak.
