Tesla Forever

Running through Lower Merion this morning I saw at least four Teslas. For those of you living under a rock for the past decade, Teslas are fully electric cars that use no fossil fuels. Unfortunately, they are expensive and come with limitations (hard to find charging stations, for one).

With the state of our climate worsening by the day, it won’t be long until there’s a global push to halt anything that pollutes and warms our atmosphere. My generation will be at the forefront of that. But that has me thinking, should those few who can afford Teslas be morally or legally obligated to buy one? Or will the Ferraris and Rolls-Royces of the world start making a push towards electric, too?

There’s little doubt that one day electric cars will be the only cars on the road. But how will we get there? Probably by people who can afford to make a difference making a difference.

What’s stopping us from doing the same with our daily choices?
