Default Can Aircraft Be Far Behind?

How do you figure that?

What do you suppose generates the majority of the electricity to recharge
that car? Fossil fuels. Until we start building nuke plants, or find a
breakthrough in solar power generation, we will be stuck with the oil and
gas noose around our necks.
