With electric cars becoming mainstream on the horizon, reducing our overall energy dependence on large powerplants is not feasible at this point.

It is absolutely feasible, electric cars becoming mainstream is just another way the governments have given up on finding real solutions to environmental issues. Instead of reducing car dependancy we're just shifting to a new, still resource intensive technology. You can't fix every human problem with a technological solution, and this is a prime example of that. I'm not saying electric cars aren't important, but they could and should go hand-in-hand with a deep rethinking of how american cities are designed to reduce the need for cars in the first place.

I know it's not happening, but all it takes is a bit of political will and more autonomy for large cities and local communities to decide what's best for them.
