If these things pan out, and they are ready for low voltage use now, you’ll buy the car, and basically never need to charge it.
A recent study found in David Blackmon’s substack of last week from Michael Kelly, a Cambridge Prof of Engineering, said that the total cost of net zero by 2050 would be on the order of $100 TRILLION, that we’d have to more than triple our power generation just to provide BACKUP.
The numbers of College grads in electrical engineering alone would be on the order of 300,000, with 1.2 million additional service people required.
Current number of EE grads per year? 21,000.
