gwalchmai Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Do y'all think this will actually happen? I believe reality will rear her ugly head. I'm going for a drive. Change my mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Fusion is the only viable generation option I can see. Transmission and distribution is going to require a lot more metal. At some point that's going to mean digging mines under persons of colour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autos. we`d need a whole new grid structure to be able to support even 30% E.V. ownership. and Gasoline is still by Comparison cheap and plentiful. until we have compact Nuclear plants or compact Diesel Electric engines. Petroleum will be king. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostinTexas Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Infrastructure not there, Battery tech isn't there, but may be by then. It still takes fuel to make electricity. Wind and solar just don't cut it and are dependent on the wind and weather. Both require fossil fuel to operate and manufacture, then you have the toxic material to dispose of after end of life, which isn't that long. Even when ginning magnificently, none can accommodate for surges in need. Either wishful thinking or a prelude to the intentions on making the US a country without energy production, and they are doing that as we speak. It will be a disaster. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This “political map” showing red and blue counties illustrates the grid problem. How much time and money will be required for power sources and grids to replace all internal combustion vehicles in the red counties with electric/battery ones? And for further consideration Montana at least has more Senators than Representatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
