Chevy vs. Chevron

Last week I was lamenting this Chevron ad in the New Yorker:

Yes, there is an alternative to oil, but it's not natural gas as the Chevron ad argues--the alternative is electric cars running on solar (or other renewable) power. 

I would love to see an all out battle between car companies switching over to electricity vs. the dinosaur oil companies going down kicking and screaming.  For the moment, we'll have to settle for this subliminal battle in the ads of the New Yorker.
