Where I live, I think they should put stickers on all teslas that say “powered by coal”. Anyone who is talking about going full electric and is not pushing nuclear power is a fool.

I brought this up on a left-leaning social board I monitor, and they went absolutely bananas. "Wind power is the future!" was a common refrain. Not a one of them was even entertaining how to get power to their newfangled electric vehicle. It's like they just expect it to manifest from the wall socket.

Coal has not been the major source of electricity for nearly a decade. Natural gas is the dominate form now. Nuclear is only 19% and renewables nearly equal it at 17% of total US generation of power actually used. Since natural gas plants are vastly cleaner for the air than diesel or gasoline engines on every measurable emission (NOx, SOx, CO, 2.5PM) and renewables generate zero so does nuclear this means that nation wide a EV is using at least 75% power that has between zero and ppm level emissions vs tail pipes blowing smoke and fumes. Power plants even th one of them have air scrubbers thanks to the EPA car and trucks do not it’s that simple.
