whether many would like to believe it or not, electric cars will cause job loss. Not only will it cause job loss because there are less parts to build it, but a person working on it will need to be more educated (more white collar jobs and less blue collar jobs).<p>The auto unions are already trying to stop the big 3 from building electric cars. It's really yet another example of why the unions only impede long term progress for short-term gains and just plain greed.
