    Going with the “batteries catch on fire argument” is stupid. “Batteries are heavy and expensive” is probably more compelling. But yeah, wires are better solution for things going in fixed routes.

      Yup batteries are not the way. By the time the batteries need to be replaced you might have helped slightly but probably not. Batteries is a illusion to going green right now. Just another product that has a demand and an easy market for it.

        I think we’re all aware of the costs associated with recycling batteries.

        Are you aware of the costs associated with high CO2 levels?

        Have to choose the lesser of two evils.
