Has anyone stopped to consider what effect the advent of electric cars will have on the job market. With government regulations forcing higher and higher fuel efficiency on auto manufacturers, we will certainly be seeing more and more battery powered vehicles. So, what do we do with the couple of million mechanics that are working today? They will have to be retrained in jobs like EV testing and whatever these new technologies require. I don't see this as being a readily viable option. I fear will see another rise in unemployment and yet another dilemma for our nation. Surely there are immense benefits to electric cars, but it wouldn't hurt to manage the transition wisely.
