<i>There are two doors. Behind Door Number One is a completely sealed room, with a regular, gasoline-fueled car. Behind Door Number Two is an identical, completely sealed room, with an electric car. Both engines are running full blast.</i><p><i>I want you to pick a door to open, and enter the room and shut the door behind you. You have to stay in the room you choose for one hour. You cannot turn off the engine. You do not get a gas mask.</i><p><i>I&#x27;m guessing you chose the Door Number Two, with the electric car, right? Door number one is a fatal choice - who would ever want to breathe those fumes?</i><p><i>This is the choice the world is making right now.</i><p>The choices aren&#x27;t that simple, Arnold, and the analogy you&#x27;re making isn&#x27;t valid, either.  Does he not understand that that &quot;clean&quot; electric car requires an energy grid to run on?  And that this grid is very far from &quot;clean&quot;, and will be for quite some time?  And that the process of creating (and decomissioning) electric cars is very far from environmentally harmless, also?<p>I&#x27;m not saying that there&#x27;s no positive trade-off in favor of electric cars; most likely there is.  But fear-driven arguments (even if pointed in the &quot;right&quot; direction) don&#x27;t help much, and have a similar effect on the brain as carbon monoxide, over time.
