Since Solar and Wind power cannot be depended on to meet present demands all the time now, how can enough electricity be produced to charge all the electric vehicles that everyone should run out and buy?

I agree with the technicality of what you said. But if we change it slightly then it's do-able. Especially if you move it from being government-managed to managed by the ones using the power.

Solar and wind are horrible when done at the utility level and especially if it coincides with ceasing use of fossil fuel (the Dims' plan). But, and this is the difference maker, if you manage it yourself and are in a good situation for it (i.e. live in the south, own your home and plan to be there for at least 10 years to recoup the costs) then solar can be very efficient even if it's not 100% dependable.

I can't drill and process my own natural gas or coal or oil. If I could, I would because those are way more energy rich and dependable than solar panels. But solar is something I manage -- not the bureaucrats. That alone makes it a very attractive energy source. That one aspect can't be overstated. That's why my Phase I of the project produced 58% of all the power I needed in my home in the past year (I calculated 50% to 60%). That's why I'm implementing Phase II -- we bought an EV and more panels and batteries for the solar system to double the panel capacity and triple the home storage. If my predictions are as accurate as before, it'll produce 85% to 95% of all the power we need in our now all-electric home, including charging the EV to drive it ~200 miles/week, and the costs will pay for themselves in 10 years all while the energy portion of my budget operates like it's still year 2019.

So yes, argue against the Dims and their Marxist use of energy polices to control us. But better yet is make yourself as energy independent as you can so that it's one less way the Dims can control you.
