Why are we still using oil?

For the past couple years, I've been saying that I really want to go to community college for auto mechanics. Last night, I started wanting to do that again. I really want to convert my Saturn SC2 into an electric car. I'm not sure about all the details, but I know they sell conversion kits and have a lot of information about how to do it. Does anyone know anyone who would want to help me or have any thoughts on this?
