They know all that. Even Musk has said there’s not enough power generation. The object is to throttle inexpensive travel; to keep people corralled; to force the use of public trans; etc.
I will be a year round bicyclist, even when it is -30C than be a year round bus rider.
For some, or perhaps many leftists in positions of power, yes.
But the majority of people, left and right are so ignorant of electricity, electronics, power generation, the grid and storage, that for them, the tooth fairy exists.
They believe the propaganda that electric vehicles are the way to go.
That being said, in the early 1900s, a lot of local delivery trucks and local busses and trollies were battery powered and charged at night, during off peak times.
They used Edison batteries that are rugged, heavy, but get better with age and use. The required no exotic materials to produce.
The production of them ceased in the USA as there was no repeat business.
Returning to that simple technology for local use trucks and busses makes sense.
Small auto and truck engines have become so efficient, they beat electric vehicles for energy use, and should remain gasoline and diesel.
Therein lies the Left's big conflict. Public transportion is only effective in sizeable urban centers; yet the policies of the Left and their only "tolerance" (that being the destruction of the cities) are driving people out of the cities into suburban and rural areas where public transportion is, at best, highly inefficient.
and in many places no one takes public trans
i see empty buses all the time
“They know all that. Even Musk has said there’s not enough power generation.”
I guess that is why Musk is invested in EV’s and batteries ...
And eventually to reduce the world's population by 90%, which is where the whole Glowbull Worming meme originated. See: Club of Rome.
If they think about that at all, they assumed that you will be in the die-off, and they will remain, to live an idyllic life in a new Garden of Eden.
Elon just contacted to buy 50% of the output of a lithium mine just down the road from me, here in NC, for the next five years.
The article isn’t about power generation. It helps to read before posting. Sheesh.
