I did not read the article. Rush discussed last week end of week the impossibility of replacing gas stations with electrical power stations.

One only ONE station has to be able to produce enough electricity in one day to power 20,000 houses. AND the electric is made from coal.

The whole thing is a farce, the ice is growing in antartica. The millenials in the office look at me like I have lost my mind when I try to explain that the global warming farce is political to take down America.

OMG when I was a kid, do you remember they told us phones would be like televisions? My summary for the day. LOL

Hey, I know! Let’s have gas powered generators to produce electricity! Awesome!

Don’t forget the flying cars in everyone’s garage.

But...they are. Something unpredictable happened, and now you have a pocket videophone (doubles as a TV providing every movie/show ever produced, on demand, dirt cheap).

Likewise, something will happen to >10x the amount of available electricity. Put solar panels on _everyone’s_ roof, tweak the infrastructure to route surplus power to where needed, and your concern is addressed. [bangs on calculator] Configure each home with 3kW (average) of solar collectors and you’ll power roughly all cars.

I remember my parents taking us to the NY World's Fair in 1964. The Bell Telephone Pavilion had rows of picture phones. They even had those "newfangled" touch tone buttons instead of the dialer. My Mom and I would talk to my Dad and sister while seeing each other on a black and white TV screen from another picture phone nearby. As a 7 yr old I was fascinated by this cutting edge technology. People thought by 1980 this would be a regular feature with phone service.
