I think that PHEVs are the way of the future IMO. They use both gas and electricity, and can get crazy high mpg numbers for full sized vehicles. Toyota has been developing the best hybrid technologies for a while now, and I think that PHEVs provide both high mpg and the convenience of plugging in for EV only. PHEVs still can drive off of gas, which provides freedom as well.
Oil, and the Russian sphere of influence. Kazakhstan has been a major player in the oil and Uranium producers for a long time, you take away their Soros backed government (that resigned a week ago) and you have a deep state war zone. There are several groups that are identified from Almaty and Astana, and it appears there is a color revolution going on backed by Soros, and a patriotic revolution as well. Putin most likely sent the military to quench DS assets still in play.
Thank god I neighbor Montana, they produce over half of my states oil.
