My wind powered car isn't running right now! The amount of electricity needed to run a nation of vehicles would make your alternatives unrealistic... what do you have against alcohol???
Electric cars also requires making a whole lot of replacement cars. What are you going to do with all the existing ones. Alcohol only requires a small adjustment to existing ones... time to go back to the drawing board!
Wind turbines have turned out to be the worst way to get electricity. They're inefficient, expensive to manufacture and made mostly out of stuff that requires petroleum to make (petrochemicals, etc.) Cars also don't run well on wind or sunlight. it also leaves you with the problem of what are you going to do with all the existing cars. people want cars that go fast... not electric pussy cars!
Not to mention that the wind turbine farms that have popped up over the last 20 years, killing birds, are all subsidized by taxpayer money and will never reach a break even point in terms of the energy produced compared to how much they cost. Wind turbine manufacturers are getting rich off of the taxpayers.
Then there's the what; 6-8 hours to recharge one car? Maybe the recharging stations can rent rooms for the night too?

Wow. Your rant is at lvl 9000.
Wind turbines are used to convert wind into electricity. At home you can use that to charge your vehicle.
Same process for solar energy or water power turbines.
It just seems odd that in a post specifically about what sustainable energy sources this world needs you never mention the obvious viable choices.
FYI I have nothing against alcohol, I love it! I think it's an essential element in beer, wine and other spirits.

There are SO many drawbacks to electric cars I have to do another post... I'll blow those electric car racists out of the water- watch!
Good Luck.
You're trying to deprogram religious zealots.
I just posted it so check it out (I hope I wasn't too harsh- NOT!)
This is for you:
