Episode 58 - Can Technology Save Us? (Part 5 - Electric Vehicles) - a podcast by Kory & Kellan

In the "Can Technology Save Us?" series up to this point we've taken a look at renewable electricity, nuclear fission, geoengineering, and nuclear fusion. In this episode, we take a look at electric vehicles and the hopes that have been put in them to help power a sustainable future. Can electric cars save us? I think you already know the answer (not a chance), and this episodes shows us why.
