Electricity is something too important for the government not to ration it.

The green plan is this: we will be forced to get by on however much electricity can be produced by renewables. Each person, each business will get a ration. Anyone exceeding their ration will be punished.

You won’t be forced into moving into government approved housing but it will cost too much of your energy ration not to, to remain in your suburban or rural housing.
Nor will you be forced to use public mass transit exclusively but it will cost too much of your energy ration not too.
Wash, rinse, repeat.

Simple calculations are the foundation of any thinking engineer. Little ole mund1011 (certainly not just me) easily saw the major lack of thought behind going full bore on EV's. I could have saved Ford, GM, Chrysler, Mercedes Benz, BMW, VW, etc. billions upon billions of dollars by doing one thing. DON'T DO IT. DON'T go there.

There is no infrastructure for power generation / distribution. There is no infrastructure for long term "sustainability"- for the raw materials that the batteries require. There is no infrastructure for recycling the batteries.

Did you ever wonder why Toyota didn't jump into the EV boiling pot of battery acid with all of these other woke OEM's? It's because somewhere inside the leadership of Toyota, they heeded the simple calculations that said, don't do it, at least not yet. Which also means Toyota is not woke.
