Houston Oil Price Drip trickle down...
Drop in oil prices is hitting the entire local economy and there isn't an industry that has not been affected.

I think it will be a little more than 10 years. I hope it is sooner but it will take a long time to build the infostructure to make it viable. Think of how many gas stations there are and we will need that many places to charge the batteries. The real change will come when it becomes more profitable for companies to use it versus gas. Who knows, there could be something even better on the horizon....
