Where is the additional electrical generation capacity going to come from to charge up all these battery-powered electric vehicles?

The nation is constrained in every way from developing an adequate power grid even for today’s demands. Hydroelectric dams are being blown up, coal plants are being shut down, natural gas is kept in artificially limited supply, no new nuclear plants are being planned, let alone built, the ageing existing nuclear plants are being decommissioned, the wind and solar installations are notoriously unreliable.

No substitutes are being offered. Where do we turn? Begging for power sources from potential or very real enemies? Conserve? How much more can we conserve, with rolling brownouts and blackouts? Call someone and ask them to send over a couple hundred pounds of electricity? How about unicorn poop or rainbows?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Don’t look to the government for solutions. Government is there to make problems, break things, and harrass people.

You are going to have to figure out how to get along, on your own and with your friends and neighbors. The government will oppose you at every turn.
