RE: The power grids cannot handle the projected load. There are not enough power stations. There is not enough power.
One answer is obvious and controversial: more natural gas and more nuclear power. But if you just listen to the likes of AOC and her cohorts, you may be inclined to think windmills and solar panels are the answer. They’re not.
China is fast cornering the market on rare earth metals and lithium, two major ingredients in so-called renewable energy. That’s a security issue, among others. And neither wind nor solar is ready to power billions of cars a few years from now. Not even close.
Yes more nuclear power would be essential. A lot more nuclear power. California is meeting the challenge by preparing to shut down Diablo Canyon their last nuclear generation plant. Go figure.
