I fully agree. And the spankings should be bloody.
Every time I see a list of the faults with EVs, I learn of another hazard with them. Somebody in the industry needs to wise up & quit building them. Government officials need to start ignoring the so-called environmentalists on this subject as well. The EVs are just not worth it, but I do understand that they meet some people’s needs. Maybe they will change their minds when they can’t go anywhere in the winter or the
thing catches fire & burns down their house & garage.
I really don’t object to the idea of storing energy in battery plants to stabilize the grid but question the long-term affordability of these plants with the inevitability of battery replacement looming (sooner then you think). Some of the advanced storage batteries like vanadium redox flow type can last longer but still, 25-30 years is the outside limit.
“This is nuts.”
What do we do about it? As the 3rd world floods in, who is “we?”
A 20% import tariff will more than eliminate any cost advantages to building factories in the 3rd world.
“A 20% import tariff will more than eliminate any cost advantages to building factories in the 3rd world.”
I agree that tariffs are a reasonable idea, but I wish we could compete with the rest of the world on a level playing field.
The owners of the company will steal some of the .gov money and then run.
Then the plants will close—and everybody will wonder why that happened.
