Reply #16: There's a difference between 'don't need' and 'don't want'

[jmowreader]

No one who's not a farmer, oil driller or road builder needs a Hummer. They WANT Hummers, or at least they did, so many of them were sold.

Electric cars are a different story. A car that goes 150 miles before it needs an 8-hour charge, only goes 50mph because people with electric cars like to go slow, is ugly because electric cars don't have to look good, and costs $45,000 because electric cars are supposed to be expensive in acknowledgment of their impact on the environment is a car no one will want.
