I am not against progress but I am against stupid.
I was for over 60 years in a business that required special engineering for custom equipment. In later years I was deep into automated machine lines.

I actually think electric vehicles might be a good idea, but not the way the government is trying to force on us.
An electric vehicle that generates it own electricity similar to the diesel electric locomotive is the correct way to go.
As you know, several auto manufacturers are building cars today that generate their own.
We have a neighbor that has a Toyota that gens its own and she loves it.
What would you think if you saw a diesel electric locomotive plugged in ty an electrical outlet?
And don’t forget the diesel electric submarines.
“An electric vehicle that generates it own electricity similar to the diesel electric locomotive is the correct way to go.”
It is more efficient to use a NG combined cycle plant to generate the electricity.
Plus, using electricity generated by nuclear, NG, hydro makes more use of available resources reducing demand on our oil reserves keeping prices more stabile.
Adding the onboard generator adds more complexity and more service center visits..
