I heard there is a severe shortage/supply chain issues with copper, also.
How do we exponentially expand the electric grid for EVs without substantial amounts of copper cable/wiring?
We’re just not ready to give up internal combustion and...
Drill, baby, drill!!!
It’s all a fiasco and will only get worse until the first of the year where at the very least we will have a major say in both houses.At that point let’s hope some other changes happen as well.
Most Copper used in the U.S. comes from Peru and Chile. The Morenci mine in Arizona is the largest copper mine in North America.
No shortage of Coper.
Shortage of Electric Grid and more importantly Electric Grid stability due to BASE LOAD which you do not get from Wind or Solar.
Nuclear is the BEST option, even "small" units build across the U.S. would do the trick as far as providing Electricity.
As for EVs - way to many other issues, batteries wear out before the owner is ready to sell the car, recharging times, etc.
My Utility company informed me I was eligible for an upgrade to a smart meter.
I told them to keep their smart meter, I was happy with my dumb meter.
Utility company said I had two choices, a smart meter or no electricity.
Now, what happens when your social credit score goes south, and the gubmint refuses to charge your car??
