“They’ll raise electricity prices to control the movement of EV drivers.”
Yes, that’s what I expect. There’s an obvious giveaway - to support these rolling electricity hogs we need lots of new energy sources. It can’t be solar since you will need to charge your car at night. It has to be nuclear or conventional, and they are building neither.
So, oops! we must have power rationing. And you’re selfish if you don’t agree.
My solar system I installed a year ago produced 59% of the power my now all-electric two-story house consumed. I'm in the process of upgrading the solar system (doubling my panels and inverter capacity, tripling my battery storage) and getting an EV. If my predictions are as accurate this time as they were when I installed the original system a year ago, it'll produce about 90% of all the power I consume -- including charging the EV to drive ~200 miles per week.
That's not enough to take me off grid. Nor does it help me if I drive the EV on long trips (except the first couple of hundred miles of the trip). But it does make the majority of my energy budget be something I control and not the bureaucrats. I will in effect shift 90% of my energy budget from variable costs that the Dims control, into the fixed cost of the HELOC loan I took out to do this transition.
But it's that effective only because I take ownership of the costs, design, installation, and maintenance to make things better for my wife and me. Like everything else in life, the more we do stuff on our own and not depend on gubment, the more efficient it is.
That's the only thing solar brings to the table. It allows us to take some control of our energy needs because we can't drill and process on our own the more efficient energy sources like natural gas and oil.
