[ausev] Are EV's too one dimensional?

[Donovan Becker]

I just replied to a message under a different subject about how I was living 
up north when that great power outtage happened. This got me thinking are 
EV's too dependent on one energy source? Have we stopped to consider the 
potential risks of vehicles getting their energy from the power grid? We all 
know how powerful the mega oil companies are; the money,  the corruption, 
the physical and political power and influence, etc. Have we stopped to 
consider what will happen if we transfer all this power to energy companies 
that are already large and powerful. Do we really want one infrastructure 
and one source of energy for our home, personal vehicles, and public 
transportation. That's a lot of power and influence all wrapped up into one 
package. Seriously though, how powerful could a company like TXU become if 
they control so much. They would have a monopoly on our daily activities. 
>From turning on the coffee pot in the morning to driving to work to watching 
tv in the evening, one company would tell us how much we have to pay for the 
majority of our daily activities. Do we want to trust these companies with 
that much?

This is something that I haven't heard anyone talking about so I thought 
that I would bring it up.
