What is the point of continually pointing out the obvious? I have never in my life seen such a witch hunt over new technology.

The guy in the article, or me pointing out that he's pointing out the obvious?

I think it is that people are truly terrified that the oil might suddenly stop and the world will end, while at the same time fascinated that there might be life after oil. They aren't far wrong; however when evaluating it as "how vulnerable are we" it's interesting that EVs are probably MORE susceptible to EMP than ICE vehicles - so on a global scale we're actually running towards greater vulnerability...

Yea, definitely the guy in the article. With new cars I think pretty much all of them are susceptible to emp. At least on electric we can make our own fuel after the apocalypse.
