“Most workers work daylight hours, which is the time the sun shines.”

Except those times in North Texas and other places in winter where you have gray skies for weeks at a time.

And it sure is efficient, strip mining all the rare earths and copper it will take for electric cars and this massive new infrastructure.

Gasoline works fine and we will have it for a thousand years if we want. These useless electric cars are a scam push by those who want them forced on us.

“Helpful thoughts and personal experiences”

Well, a very helpful thought I have is never try to arm wrestle with a cobra.

They don’t have arms.

As far as personal experiences, there was this one time I was arm wrestling this cobra, only it was a spitting cobra and he hocked up a big one and let it fly at me and it landed on my new Yamaha t-shirt, so I kicked him under the table. I don’t know if you’ve ever been kicked in your under the table, but it hurts like heck and he let go of my hand.

And that’s how I won the Cobra Arm Wrestling Trophy in Paris, France back in 1983.

Technological solutions in a world driven by political ideologies and corrupt profit motives is just an academic exercise. The entire ‘green’ movement and the unrealistic push to make everything run on batteries made from chinese lithium that plug into rainbow magic juice receptacles is just but one example of the lunacy. A few profit handsomely by being on the inside track of the political game and everyone else is a slave to that vision.

If electric vehicle propulsion was so great they would have continued it within the cities over a hundred years ago.

Yes that is correct, they had electric vehicles back then.

Take the longest range Tesla and deduct 40% off the range. Thats how far you can travel. Never go below 40% on the remaining charge for reasons others can explain.

China has the lithium market cornered in forethought of what was going to happen to batteries...another black eye for China Joe, and Pelosi & Squad.

re: “I am writing about energy supply modernization because it is thought more as a ...

The days of central gen are numbered.

If you don’t know why, good luck getting educated in this area.

AND the answer will not involve batteries OR solar panels NOR ‘modular’ nuclear nor wind (or geo-thermal).

Since your ‘physics’ is quite likely limited to the precepts in QM (Quantum Mechanics) the ‘answer’ is going to strike you as coming out of ‘left field’. I can’t help that, the problem is with your ‘set’ and the assumption in QM from over 100 years ago now.

Subject to sufficient supplies of lithium for batteries and copper and rare earth metals for electric motors, electric cars have a great technical future.

Other than the fact we'll be totally dependent on the Chinese for rare earth metals...

... other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play...
