What's going to happen is the EV guys will pay off Washington. They will green light the power companies to build up the grid and allow them to do whatever it takes to get millions and milions of chargers powered. That will mean skyrocketing power bills for everyone to pay for it all. It will also mean more nuke plants to fail and give people cancer for the next 40 years after the failure, and the big kicker, oh yes, burning more fossil fuels to power these EVs. Energy isnt free boys.
I agree that we are depleteing our resources, but I also dont see EVs as the answer. They lie with every cellphone they sell us. Every time a new one comes out they tells us about the battery being better. With owning a serviced based business I buy a lot of phones. I cant say Ive seen a noticeable impovement in battery life or reliability. They tell us the batteries will last longer and things seem great for about a year, then it hits. Battery illness.
You want that with your car too?
I could talk about this all day, but I need to get into my DURAMAX or maybe just my 6.2L gas Superduty and go make money to prepare for Elon and the government to take more.
Can't wait for him to be handed the space program too. That will create entire other set of issues.
