Gas prices are high because oil companies want to make more money. It's really that simple. Electric is one of a few fuels for cars. That's it. Like Diesel. Or CNG. Or Gasoline. No one is going to FORCE you to buy an electric car. If you want lower gas prices you should WANT electric cars to be around. Lowers the demand on oil, which in turn will lower prices.
Another option is support a government owned option: Call it "GovGas" which, like Medicare, can influence the private market prices. No one would force you to buy GovGas but it would probably be cheaper and made from oil WE ALL own on federal land. The private companies control the supply AND the pricing of oil/gas right now. At least GovGas would be accountable to citizens as the customers and not need to be driven by price gouging for more profits.
