Dear Editor: Friend Bob Langfelder is correct that my article is not a roadmap to get a whole society off fossil fuels. It was not meant to be. No map is necessary before a journey is undertaken. My purpose was to encourage Friends to undertake the journey.
I have written much more about electric cars elsewhere, as well as about the steps necessary to get to sustainability. Interested Friends may want to check out my website, https://drivingonsunlight.net, or my 2017 book on sustainable development, The Monterey List (currently available as a Kindle e-book or a print-on-demand paperback from Amazon).
