Electric cars also harm the environment - just in a different way. You can google that. I don't want to have to write it here.

People can own whatever they like - this isn't about communism. This is about eliminating harmful tech that is destroying our planet.

The reason hydroelectric power is selected is because it doesn't require batteries - batteries require lithium or other rare earths. If the mining industry fails (and it will eventually), then the only option for energy is hydro electric power.

I have no idea why you think a comment about the personal ownership of horse and carts would be a 'gotcha' comment. It's just indicates that you missed the point of why personal ownership of cars has to go.
