LETTER: If electric cars are the future, their cost had better come down.

After reading many stories recently about everyone buying an electric vehicle to save the planet, I often wonder about those struggling to get by. I see people driving beater cars, probably purchased for between $1,000 and $2,000. How are they supposed to buy a $30,000 electric car?

I am on Social Security and would have a tough time buying one. The save-the-world dreamers apparently have the money to buy these cars and think everyone else can, too.

LETTER: Highways will go the way of the horse and buggy

I personally can’t wait to give up the soporific scenery, racetrack-like mentality and beautiful Baker bathroom stops of the Interstate 15 car commute in favor of a sleek, smooth train.
