Add to that the horrible and aging condition of the transmission grid, and you guarantee outages and unprecedented breakdowns of the system. It's a really bad idea to do something that causes yet another huge problem. We should eliminate the spark ignition gasoline engine and immediately switch to turbodiesels, and also dramatically lighten the structural configuration of all our ground transportation vehicles. That would drop oil consumption directly by upping conversion efficiency by 60% while reducing weight by 40%.
